Apologist Responses to the SAB

There are several web sites that have responded to the SAB. The ones that I know about are listed below. Please let me know if there are any that I have overlooked.

[I am especially interested in responses from Christians on the Cruelty and Violence list. These verses show that the Bible could not have been inspired by a kind and loving God. They are the ones that are most likely to challenge the faith of those who believe in (or who pretend to believe in) the Bible but have never read it.

I'd also like to see responses from Muslims and Mormons to the verses that are highlighted at the SAQ and SABoM.]

  • SAB Discussion Board
    I encourage apologists to visit the forum and respond to the verses that are highlighted at the SAB. Waterrock has completed posting responses for the gospel of Matthew and he has provided Christian commentary to the first eleven surahs of the Quran. Links to his responses can be found at the bottom of each chapter page at the SAB and on the surah sidebar at the SAQ.

    [December 20, 2006: Since it appears that Waterrock is no longer responding to the SAB, I encourage other apologists to respond. Send me an email (swwells@gmail.com) if you're interested.]

  • The Annotated Skeptic's Annotated Bible
    This site is in blog form, so it doesn't have separate entries for each SAB entry. The author has responded to Genesis and the first few chapters of Exodus.

  • Tektonics.org
    This site defends the Bible by attacking me, which I find very entertaining. Some of the comments are so much fun that I've added them directly at the bottom of the chapter pages.

    Turkel (aka James Patrick Holding) has decided to remove his comments on the SAB from his Tektonics site. He'll now address the SAB at his new Tektoonics cartoon site The same "the SAB is such a weenie" apologetics can be found there.

    I guess Turkel has decided to remove all links from his site (or the Tektoonics site) to his responses. So I will begin removing them from the SAB as well. If he ever decides to make his responses available again, I'll do likewise. (13 December 2007)

  • The SAB Author Answered
    Responses to 1 Samuel through Nehemiah and Matthew through Luke have been completed.

  • LookingUntoJesus.net: Answering the Atheist
    Since the responses are listed by week, they are bit hard to find. But the site has been doing one a week for nearly five years, so responses to most of the SAB's contradictions can be found there.

  • Skeptic's Annotated Bible: A Response
    Some of the contradictions (about 40) have individual responses here.

  • Dan of Israel: Response to the Skeptic's Annotated Bible
    Responses to about 100 of the SAB's contradictions can be found here.

  • Got Questions: What is the Skeptic's Annotated Bible?
    The "Got Questions?" site has a page on the SAB, but does not address specific highlighted verses.

  • Jason Gastrich's commercial .org response to the SAB
    You've got to pay for Jason's stuff. (And it's not worth it. The free sites that are listed above do a much better job.) Still, I encourage Mr. Gastrich to make his material available on the web so that I can provide direct links from the SAB.

  • Did I miss your response? If so, let me know and I'll provide links to it from the SAB.
