Goodbye Jesus

I Need A Book


Penguin

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a comprehensive analysis of Christianity, from the history to the doctrine (from our perspective). Verse by verse, point by point if possible. Prophecies, contradictions, errors, etc. Can anyone recommend something (s)?

That's a large data set for one book to cover.   A few John Loftus and Bart Ehrman books in addition to the library at infidels.org should provide quite a bit of illumination.

There is an online resource that covers contradictions verse by verse but it doesn't do history.

Skeptic's Annotated Bible.

 

The focus is on how Bronze Age customs are ridiculous to modern society so it doesn't meet academic standards but it is a good place to start.

Thank you. I figured something that comprehensive would be unlikely, but I'm working on a project that will hopefully be very thorough. Still, I need to get a jump on history, science, critical thinking, etc. I have minimal unbiased experience. Apologetics was an interest of mine as a Christian; I suppose this would be like Free Thinker apologetics.

I would also recommend Bart Ehrman's Lost Scriptures.

You get to compare what the Roman church chose to include in the Bible with all the other books available.
