Academic Fail

I still don't know what exactly is your hypothesis. Whether an academian can be christian or not?
I don't know how this is any of your business at the first place anyways.

If one is a historian, knows and understands the historical problems with the Gospels, how can they still claim faith?
Granted faith takes one beyond knowledge or fact, but if you look at the historical context from which Christianity arose, it's pretty obvious that it was built upon other religions that were present in that region at that time. It's a product of it's historical context. Whether one chooses to have faith in that is a personal thing, but one has to admit that historically it's problematic.

My friend, you do not need to be a historian to state that the Gospels lack such reliability. The moslem religion claims that the Gospels have been changed, or written by the church founders, and are false. It all comes down to your faith. I don't know what kind of "historical problems" there are with the four Gospels, as there are historical problems with the Torah, but I'm not certain what really it is that you're looking for. Is it historical accuracy regarding the contents, or just knowledge about whether they were written by the people that they say that wrote it, or by someone else?
Which?
