Books titled for “Misquoting” this person and this person “Interrupted” by Bart Ehrman discuss (10[1])the criterions (10[1])of (10[2])dissimilarity and embarrassment used to (10[1])evaluate the reliability (10[1])of claims about this person. (10[1])A 1906 book by Albert Schweitzer lends its name to “quests” for (10[2])this historical figure. (10[1])The two-source hypothesis argues that many of the similarities between two texts about this figure can be (10[1])explained by their use of the now-lost Q source.
