Spreading from academia into mainstream media, the suggestion that diversity of doctrine in the early church led to many competing orthodoxies is indicative of today's postmodern relativism. Authors Ktenberger and Kruger engage Ehrman and others in this polemic against a dogged adherence to popular ideals of diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKtenberger and Kruger's accessible and careful scholarship not only counters the \"Bauer Thesis\" using its own terms, but also engages overlooked evidence from the New Testament. Their conclusions are drawn from analysis of the evidence of unity in the New Testament, the formation and closing of the canon, and the methodology and integrity of the recording and distribution of religious texts within the early church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andreas J.
