Query: Nice Try, But...

Earl Doherty fails in his "cross." His rebuttle to Lee Strobel's book is not the slam dunk he portays. Habermas, Blomberg, Craig and the other witnesses can all counter much of what Doherty asserts. In reality, his entire thesis rests upon a shaky foundation of untenious arguments from silence, outlandish dismissals of contradictory evidence, and, worst of all, sloppy historiography passed off as scholarship. There are reasons why a majority of even critical scholars reject Doherty's Puzzle. Proper Historiography, and Okham's Razor, undermine the foundation of his theory. For effective counters to Doherty's "cross," I recommend THE NEW EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A VERDICT by former skeptic Josh McDowell and CROSS EXAMINED by newcomer Michael Licona.
