He was being interviewed on a show by some Lutheran so impressed by his work that the interviewer got the impression that the Bible is to not be trusted at all due to all the errors. Bart clearly gives this impression but when pressed, he admits that it is what it is. There are tons of manuscripts which is the reason there are so many small and almost always insignificant variations.
I have not read his books but have listened to a couple of his debates. One of which, put on by the founder of the Ehrman Project.
