About this Blog

The Cross Examined blog has been for me a journey of more than a decade, with over a million words in 1700 posts. I no longer add new blog posts, but the information is still relevant. If you’re taking a skeptical look at Christianity, this resource can help.

The links to articles outside this blog should work, though some will have gone bad—for these, try Internet Archive. Links within the blog, from one post to another, won’t work. However, you should be able to salvage the title of an article from the URL and can search on that.

Thanks for your interest in the skeptical side of Christian apologetics. My parting gift is a short nonfiction book, 2-Minute Christianity: 50 Big Ideas Every Christian Should Understand. You can buy it online, or read it for free at the 2-Minute Christianity blog.

It should be an engaging read for those who are new to the debate about Christianity, and it will have surprises for those who are experienced with Christian apologetics as well. Please spread the word.
