If you changed more than a few lines in your .emacs, you can do 
M-x eval-buffer in the .emacs buffer.  Debugging Emacs Lisp is
described in the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.  Type 
C-h i d m elisp m debugging if you have its info file installed.  
It is not (yet) packaged together with Emacs.  A copy can be 
obtained from http://www.gnu.org/manual/elisp/
