The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

I'll be stunned just by that. 

Think about it. The best Christian minds were hard at work over this topic for the last 2,000 years and they had a lot of resources to devote to the task. I'm struggling to think of any life or event that has received more attention in our records of human civilization and I can't think of one. You could make the argument that this is the most thoroughly combed over topic of discussion in human history. At the very least, it ranks up there with every possible philosophical nook and cranny thoroughly explored and mapped out.

If all he does is come up with a never heard before argument, I promise right now to congratulate him on inventing a brand new angle on such a ancient, worn out topic. I'll even spend a moment to admire that accomplishment before I expose every fallacy and tear it to shreds.
