Christian apologist J. P. Holding has responded to some of the arguments I make in my book, Politely Rejecting the Bible, specifically those points where I engage with his work. I’ve already offered some follow-up remarks on one topic, related to Holding’s theory about Judas Iscariot’s death in the Gospel of Matthew. As I explained there, that was something I brought up in the book in order to give an example of why the debate over the Bible’s inerrancy requires more nuance, and although I think the point was lost on Holding, I don’t think that the manner of Judas’ death provides useful evidence against inerrancy, at least not in the context of the actual debate.
