I recommend Robert Conner's books and articles. He goes through painstaking detail, both historically and well as logically, to show the claims of Christianity regarding the supernatural to be not just incorrect but highly mistaken even if what the Christians believed what they said was true! Questioning the Resurrection, Part 1 of 3 Questioning the Resurrection, Part 2 of 3 Questioning the Resurrection, Part 3 of 3 Read Robert Conner's most recent book!
