God's Ghostwriters

Jun 19, 2024 | zip06.com | Candida Moss

God's Ghostwriters by Candida Moss With a refreshing and profoundly ethical approach that results in a story that reads like a novel, the author reveals the world of publishing as it existed circa 150 C.E. She gives voice and dignity to the enslaved workers who took dictation, edited, read aloud, copied, and otherwise created the Bible as we know it today. The result is fascinating and thought provoking. Drew, Breakwater Books, Guilford

How Much of the Bible Was Written by Enslaved People?

Mar 29, 2024 | thedailybeast.com | Candida Moss

Paul's Letter to the Romans is widely regarded as the most theologically sophisticated and influential book in the New Testament. There's no questioning its importance, and (unlike many books of the New Testament) no scholar has ever doubted that Paul himself wrote it. Yet this last point is remarkable precisely because it is so demonstrably untrue. Paul did not write this letter-or, at the very least, he did not write it alone.

From an award-winning biblical scholar, the untold story of how enslaved people created, gave meaning to, and spread the message of the New Testament, shaping the very foundations of Christianity in ways both subtle and profound. For the past two thousand years, Christian tradition, scholarship, and pop culture have credited the authorship of the New Testament to a select group of men: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul.

The History of Hell

Feb 9, 2024 | americamagazine.org | Candida Moss

In an interview on Italian television last month, Pope Francis was asked what he thinks about hell. The pope responded that hell is “difficult to imagine” and added that, in his personal opinion, he “like[s] to think hell is empty; I hope it is.” Even though Pope Francis was abundantly clear that his statements were “not a dogma of faith,” they sparked a backlash from those who, apparently, really do hope that people are being tortured for all eternity and have no problem admitting to it.
