But, as Balaam learned, flashes of truth sometimes comes from speakers who don't necessarilly know what they're talking about...Colbert here is just doing his job. Pointing out the shallowness behind the pomposity. Christians should see something here; the latest infidelity-mongers aren't to be feared, but to be pitied and prayed for. Aaron, No doubt.

Agree or Disagree or does it matter? I’ve watched this video with a few different people and some find that Colbert is equally as mocking of Christianity only in satirical way.

So is Larry Hurtado's Lord Jesus Christ: Devotion to Christ in Earliest Christianity. @Robert E. Sagers, The Gathercole volume is indeed helpful.

Sagers, I was just about to commend that book! Read it for The Doctrine of the Person of Christ just this semester. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, and I wish Colbert would've taken Ehrman to task on that claim. But I figure he gave him enough in regards to other points. Gosh, I still can't imagine why Ehrman would even agree to go and get roasted on a show like that... Thankful Jesus is much more than an elephant. :) @Robert E.

You can order the book here: http://bit.ly/tmgeH, or you can read a pretty helpful review of it here: http://bit.ly/15B113.

Barber, Now that is funny. I would offer an emoticon back, but I would be severely rebuked by a secret group of emoticon-watchers, known only as The Trifecta. I would video comment back but my makeup isn't on yet. Rev. Barber, Now that is funny.
