Half of New Testament forged: Myth or Reality

We shall examine excerpts from the work of Bart D. Ehrman, a renowned biblical scholar, who makes the charges in his new book “Forged”, that half of the New Testament is forged.  We shall explore whether the so-called "Disciples" of Jesus’ (Isa) were illiterate peasants, or were they educated men?  Who wrote the New Testament?  Who was Paul and what was his doctrine?  How authentic are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and John, and did Paul write all the "Letter's" attributed to him?  Was the New Testament  written by the "Finger of God", or the "Fingers of Scribes?
