The author would like to point out that as he goes about criticising ignorance, poor understanding, bias, the objectification of women, ineffectiveness in British Government and the secular nature of modern society, he is in no way guilty of anything he accuses other people of. Honest.

Biblical Historiography - William Lane Craig on why the Gospels are believable

http://www.reasonablefaith.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5207

I'm not familiar with every nook and cranny of Biblical historiography. To my mind though, here William Lane Craig (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lane_Craig) presents a good summary of why the accounts of the New Testament, especially the Gospels and Christ's Resurrection in particular, have good historical grounding. I wouldn't call it an immediately conclusive piece, as he raises several ideas that deserve further reading before a definite opinion is taken, but I struggle to find a strong counter-argument to his conclusions.
