So for a while now, I've been compiling a bibliography of scholarly publications that I'm familiar with, and which present some sort of serious challenge to various aspects of traditional Jewish and Christian theology — especially the historicity of Biblical claims, their ethics, and so on.
I've just about filled up the character limit for this post, so I'll just say a couple of things before jumping right into the bibliography.
First, because of the character limit, I've listed works in the shortest form possible: just the author and title — no further publisher info. I'm sure you won't have trouble finding anything, though.
Second, I've placed works into different categories. There's some sort of logic to the ordering of the categories, in terms of starting with more general or "meta" issues, and then going chronologically from the Hebrew Bible to the New Testament. But really, at a certain point all logic goes out the window; and there are some works which just as easily could have fit into another category, too.
Perhaps most importantly, I've tried to limit myself to works by scholars and publishers that can be said to fall squarely within the mainstream of academic Biblical studies, history and theology, and which aren't particularly radical or implausible. So this not only means excluding things that aren't published in established scholarly presses and journals — e.g. Michael Alter's The Resurrection: A Critical Inquiry (as useful as it may be) — but also avoiding the work of those like Robert M. Price or Richard Carrier, or studies like Russell Gmirkin's Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus. Trust me, there's still an enormous amount of critical material without these.
About the closest I come to border-line material is something like Randel Helms, Gospel Fictions; and I've made some parenthetical notes about a few other publications which offer particularly controversial and perhaps untenable views, too.
Finally, this bibliography is a work in progress, and I'm often adding new stuff to it. Suggestions are appreciated, too.
Without further ado, the bibliography:
Classics, from the 18th century up to ~mid-20th century
