Aussie Webmaster of "Free Christians," a self-proclaimed liberal/universalist site, and also he doesn't like apologetics. Our retort here.

Gerkin, Kyle
Secular Web part-time denizen. We are e-friends and I put him in the Top 3 of Reasonable Skeptics I Have Encountered. See here for our first encounter, and we are now embarking on a Scholarly Diplomacy Project which we introduce here and which is now in session here
Commonly used by Skeptics for his anti-Christian comments in Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Unfortunately it's a very bad source on science and religion. Venerable Bede reports in his journal: The best man at my wedding likes to tease me that I'm the only person who has actually read this from cover to cover. I doubt that's the case because it is riveting stuff. It is also almost completely wrong. So many anti-Christian myths began here. Christian's destroying the library of Alexandria, Eusebius's dishonesty, Christianity causing the 'Dark Ages' etc. etc. Gibbon has a lot to answer for. The combination of his enormous erudition, beautiful style, biting wit and enlightenment agenda are a potent combination.
The Gospels as Ancient Biographies -- useful for understanding the literary background of the Gospels and addressing claims based on the form of the Gospels as episodes strung together
Harmonization: The Issue of Complimentary Accounts -- one of my earliest projects, and still unaddressed by skeptics: a comparison of four lives of Lincoln, and a dare to criticize them the same way the Gospels are. In four very long parts, so grab some popcorn!
The Gospels for All Christians edited by Richard Bauckham -- Buy this book from Amazon.com -- a curative for the idea that the Gospels were written by competing communities
