There is no way you can support that. You overreached and now can't figure out how get out gracefully. Dodging specifics and then posting a book to buy is so lame.
Higher biblical scholarship has the same rancid stench that is sophisticated theology.
#2.
What is this 'higher Biblical scholarship' of which you speak? And how does it differ from other forms of biblical scholarship? What are its conclusions? How does it arrive at those conclusions? And on who's authority do they speak?
How do bible scholars (upper and or lower) explain how the rules by which the universe operates are circumvented in order that a three day old purifying corpse be brought back to life?
And you can't appeal to theologians (coarse or refined) because they have no fucking idea.
One final question, why do you believe the bible story?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
