Chris Heard points out one of the problems with recent atheist critiques of religion, namely that they disallow for any type of change or development in a religious belief system.

Many blog posts are little snippets here and there (like this one). But, Ken Brown has written a blog post introducing the Gospel of John that has a little meat to it.
