Do the authors (or could you) provide any examples of Ehrman's inconsistencies on this issue? Thanks!

[Apologiaphoenix]

No. They really don't go into that. I think the work itself is a demonstration.

Can you please clarify with some examples of what you are saying about Ehrman's different (contradictory?) positions?

In spite of these remarkable [textual] differences, scholars are convinced that we can reconstruct the original words of the New Testament with reasonable (although probably not 100 percent) accuracy.
