That's two in the last week.
The First was seeing some lectures by Richard Carrier on YouTube.
Today I stumbled on this bloke. Claims to be a former quite rabid baptist. I've only watched part two of this interview. He even quotes a book I actually have and have read***
The interview covers stuff covered by Bart Ehrman and Richard Carrier, but he's less long winded. Not saying he has plagiarised. I think any serious secular scholar will initially find the same problems with say the credibility and veracity of the old testament and the contradictions in the New Testament.
The link to his clip is below . Be most interested in some opinions. (28 minutes approx)

My opinion? Oh, I quite like him. Might see if I can lay my hands on his book

***'The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts, a book published in 2001, discusses the archaeology of Israel and its relationship to the origins and content of the Hebrew Bible. The authors are Israel Finkelstein, Professor of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University, and Neil Asher Silberman, an archaeologist, historian and contributing editor to Archaeology Magazine."
Yes, I'm citing this book yet again. What can I say? My collection of archaeological books and books on the history of Christianity is very small.
