As we barrel forward in the holiday season, a lot of people are thinking about end-of-the-year giving. If you’re one of them, would you consider making a donation to the Bart Ehrman Blog? Every penny you donate goes straight to the charities we support (see below); we take nothing out ourselves to pay for overhead. And if you’d like, we can apportion your donation to just one or more of these charities as you prefer. Our goal for the blog heading to December 31 is to raise $325,000 for the year (through membership fees and donations). We’re close. Wanna help? Just go to the homepage and scroll to the bottom of the screen, and you’ll see the two easy options for making the donation. Read by Petra Ortiz
