Counter-apologetics issues[edit]
Although Strobel claimed to be an atheist when he started this book, many readers have pointed out that he did a very bad job supporting the atheist position. Furthermore, he conducted interviews only with Christian apologists, and none with atheists or skeptics. He has claimed that the book is balanced because he himself is arguing against the apologists, but at many points in the book he appears extremely reluctant to challenge his subjects.
Further, if Strobel proved the existence of Christ as a historical fact then there would be no room for "faith". Therefore, he is satisfied to give the reader a "case" as to not negate the importance of faith.
Formula for the book[edit]
Basically, each chapter goes like this:
- Insert an anecdote about modern criminal cases and how they were solved by a piece of evidence.
- Introduce somebody to serve as the Christian apologist.
- Describe every facet of their education and work history (a classic appeal to authority in hopes the reader will trust the validity of the next few pages).
- Play devil's advocate and ask the person "tough questions" posed by skeptics.
- Accept weak argument.
- Asks personal questions about the subject's religious convictions. ("How much do you love Jesus now?" "A lot!")
Rebuttals by Chapter[edit]
Chapter 1: The Eyewitness Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: 'Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?
Interview with Craig Blomberg. Blomberg acknowledges that "strictly speaking, the gospels are anonymous." However this does not stop Blomberg from suggesting that the four gospels were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, making them eligible eyewitness testimony. According to Blomberg, this fact is confirmed by Papias (writing circa CE 125).
Response: What Blomberg fails to mention is that we have no surviving writings of Papias. We rely for what he said on Eusebius, a fourth century historian of the Church. This is similar to a modern historian telling you, more than a century after the time of Joseph Smith, that Smith dug up the tablets and the Book of Mormon is an accurate record. Perhaps Eusebius is quoting Papias correctly, but even so, what can we glean from that quotation? It's pretty clear that Papias is himself passing on secondhand reports about these documents and their reputed authors. He says that his information about "Mark" comes from "the elder."
Chapter 2: Testing the Eyewitness Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Do the Biographies of Jesus Stand Up to Scrutiny?
The interview with Bloomberg continues. Strobel first asks him if the biblical authors were interested in actually reporting what really happened? Blomberg quotes Luke 1:1-4, basically saying that the gospels are accurate simply because they say they are.
Response: However, Luke uses the phrase "handed down to us" which does not seem like something that happens in just a couple of years. Also, the "account of the things that have been fulfilled among us" as far as we know there is only one: the gospel of Mark. And yet, how could Lukes work omit many stories that Matthew says happened? Plus, if Luke was a companion of Paul, why does it never say so? Bloomberg continues as notes that the gospels were written with "sober and responsible fashion." Again, this is misleading. Sober and responsible is not the appropriate terms to use when the gospels contain many contradictions and early fabrications and deliberate forgeries. Is the tale of a mass resurrection of the dead who walked in the streets of Jerusalem for all to see really sober and responsible reporting, or just another tall tale.
Blomberg then says that the gospel accounts do not contain "outlandish flourishes and blatant mythologizing that you see in other ancient writings."
Response: This is really not the case. Virgin births, miracles, raising the dead, son of the divine, and so on. All of these were used in myths all the time. Julius Caesar claims he was born of a virgin and the coins with his name declare him "son of God."
To explain away all the inconsistencies in the Bible, Bloomberg defends the Bible by stating "If the gospels were too consistent, that in itself would invalidate them as independent witnesses. People would say that we really have only one testimony that everyone else is parroting."
Response: This does pose a big problem for the inerrantists. Even the non-inerrantists have a problem: can't be too consistent and can't be too inconsistent. According to Blomberg, the gospels are inconsistent to the right degree. However, using Blomberg's own argument, the biographies of Alexander the Great (the two principal biographies written four hundred years after Alexander's death) are widely accepted as accurate are considerably more consistent with each other than are the gospels. So the gospels "flunk" Bloomberg's own test.
Blomberg tries to counter the propaganda aspect of the Bible, saying that the Bible contains many embarrassing or difficult problems and yet the gospel writers made no attempt to cover it up.
Response: The problem is that a propaganda piece has to include some embarrassing or difficult material to appear objective. Just like modern day propagandists, the gospel writers knew what they had to do.
Blomberg concedes that the Gospels, if accurate, would be corroborated by archaeological and historical evidence.
Response: However, he does not name a single one. Blomberg is also not up to date with what modern archaeological evidence states about the Bible. The evidence for veracity of the settings of the New Testament - and Old Testament - is so bad that scholars now question the whole model of "biblical archaeology," which starts with the assumption that the Bible is a reliable guide for field research. There is now so much archaeological evidence against the historical accuracy of the Bible that the term "biblical archaeology" has been discarded by professional archaeologists and "Syro-Palestinian archaeology" has been suggested by some in the field as a more appropriate term.
Finally, Blomberg questions if the gospel accounts were not true, then why did contemporary eye-witnesses not correct them or proclaim their inaccuracy.
Response: Actually, it's a simple explanation. First of all, the gospels were written later than Blomberg would like them to be. Second, if the gospels are for the most part contain things that never happened, there would not be an contemporary "eye-witnesses" to speak out. For instance, Paul says that 500 people saw the resurrected Jesus, but Paul does not name who they are, where they came from, what they saw, how old where they, were they sober or mentally stable, how many of them were male adults, etc. It is very likely that the 500 witnesses is just a number written on paper and the whole thing is one example of the many propaganda pieces.
Chapter 3: The Documentary Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Were Jesus' Biographies Reliably Preserved for Us?
Interview with Bruce M. Metzger, Ph.D., a professor emeritus at Princeton Theological Seminary and chairman of the New Revised Standard Version Bible Committee on the reliability of the textual transmission of the New Testament. That is, because the original books of the New Testament are lost, how do we know that "each copied document was identical to the original?" Metzger argues that because the gospels have a vast amount of copies that often agree with each other provides evidence for their accuracy.
Response: However, there is still a problem. If the gospel writers were inaccurate in the history they wrote, or wrote with a deliberate bias, all the copies in the world aren't going to make up for those biases and inaccuracies.
Strobel then asks Metzger why some books were included in the New Testament and others (e.g., the Gospel of Thomas) were not? Strobel includes why did the early church fathers seek to exclude legitimate books that portrayed Jesus in a way they did not like and why the New Testament contains some evident interpolations. Metzger admits that "church councils squelched equally legitimate documents because they didn't like the picture of Jesus they portrayed."
Response: Equally legitimate? Then why does Metzger not accept the stories on the Gospel of Thomas. The only reason why not is religious bias.
Chapter 4: The Corroborating Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Is There Credible Evidence for Jesus outside His Biographies?
Interview with Edwin Yamauchi (who holds a doctorate in Mediterranean Studies from Brandeis University, and teaches at Miami University in Oxford, OH.) about extra-biblical evidence that confirms the contents of the New Testament. The first on Edwin's list of evidences in Josephus. Josephus was a Jew, born around 37 CE in Palestine. He served in the Jewish War of 66-70 and was captured by the Romans. He then threw his support behind the enemy, declaring that the General Vespasian would become emperor—a prophecy which came true within a year. As a consequence, he was adopted as a client by Vespasian and spent the rest of his life in Rome, where he wrote histories of the Jewish War and of the Jewish people. In manuscripts of the latter work, called Antiquities of the Jews, published about 93 CE. There are two references to Jesus in this book.
Response: They have been discussed many times by countless critical scholars, and the current consensus is the vast majority considers both references as forgeries. Edwin does mention a few problems with the passages, but he does not include the huge problems such as Josephus did not believe Jesus was the Messiah. Whoever wrote these references was a believer in Christ.
Yamauchi also claims that other ancient sources provide independent confirmation of the New Testament: Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Thallus, the Talmud, and the writings of the early church fathers.
Response: However, there is no good reason to believe that any of these sources provide corroborating evidence (see the article Mythicism to see why). The writings of the church fathers do not provide any independent confirmation; they were late and based on earlier Christian sources.
Chapter 5: The Scientific Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?
Interview with John McRay, Ph.D. He teaches at Wheaton College in suburban Chicago and studied at Hebrew University and the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem (an institution funded by the Vatican that for many years kept the Dead Sea Scrolls locked away from serious secular scholarship). McRay claims that archaeological discoveries have corroborated several of the incidental details of Luke, and that archaeology has bolstered the credibility of John and Mark.
In this chapter, they examine several stories in the New Testament, including the Consensus, Herod slaughtering the inhabitants of Bethlehem, and the existence of Nazareth.
Response: There is much in the New Testament account of Jesus' life which has produced no echo in the record of the time by non-Christian historians, such as the dramatic event of Herod slaughtering all the male infants in the town of Bethlehem.
The Consensus: In support of this contention, McRay provides an official Roman document (104 CE) that includes the reference: "...who for any cause are residing outside of their provinces to return to their homes that they may carry out the regular order of the census and may also attend diligently to the cultivation of their allotments..."
Response: However, this reference does not speak to paternal nativity, but rather to current ownership and cultivation of land. It clearly means that you're supposed to go back home and tend to your farm as well as be counted in the census. Nowhere does it say anything about returning to the village of paternal nativity as does the reference in the birth narratives of Jesus. As for who was governor of the time, there exists the problem of Herod dying in 4 BCE and Quirinius not ascending to the governorship of Syria until CE 6.
The Existence of Nazareth: McRay says that Nazareth did exist as a hamlet.
Response: Wrong, the gospels tell us that Nazareth was larger than a hamlet with a decent sized population, and included a temple. It is difficult to locate because no references to Nazareth can be found in any written source outside the gospels before the fourth century.
Herod and Bethlehem:
Response: This incident is only found in the gospel of Mark, nowhere else.
McRay points out there is no historical evidence for the Book of Mormon, however reassures that evidence does exist for the New Testament.
Response: This is not true. There is no evidence for the mass resurrection of saints who walked in the streets of Jerusalem for all to see, the three hours of darkness, or the location of the tomb where Jesus was buried. While there is no evidence either for the book of Mormon, that does not mean that McRay's position wins by default.
Chapter 6: The Rebuttal Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Is the Jesus of History the Same As the Jesus of Faith?
In this chapter, Strobel addresses the Jesus Seminar. The scholars of the jesus seminar examined the canonical gospels and the Gospel of Thomas and pinpointed what Jesus actually said and did not say. They concluded 82% of the words of Jesus in the Bible are not the actual words of Jesus (doubt still remains on the remaining 18%).
Strobel interviews Gregory A. Boyd, Ph.D. Boyd holds a doctorate from the Princeton Theological Seminary, and he is a professor of theology at Bethel College. Boyd is also a pastor at Woodland Hills Church. Boyd dismiss the Jesus Seminar because they do not think like traditional scholars.
Response: What Boyd is doing is inserting that he has the correct models and not a large group of well-trained scholars.
What is Boyd's model? He makes a statement that flies in the face of the scientific method: "Historians usually operate with the burden of proof on the historian to prove falsity or unreliability, since people are generally not compulsive liars. Without that assumption, we would know very little about ancient history." To prove a contention as controversial as the resurrection, you can't simply rely on the testimony of those who say they were there and then try to disprove it. Only after collecting all the available evidence can a person make conclusions based on where that evidence points to. This is exactly what the Jesus Seminar did.
Later, Boyd defends the miracles of Jesus. He claims they must have been real because they are too radical and unlike the other miracle workers of Jewish history. Boyd says that "the radical nature of his miracles distinguished him." Here are several of Jesus' miracles: multiplied fish, raised sons and daughters from the dead, cured blindness, deafness, and leprosy. Based on all of this, Boyd concludes that Jesus was different and special.
Response: What he fails to acknowledge is that many other "miracle workers" both of that time. For instance, Apollonius of Tyana healed the sick, raised the dead and is even said to walk through walls. Simon Magus levitated in the air. However, Boyd does examine Appollonius of Tyana, and concludes that the accounts of Apollonius are not as reliable as the gospels. Boyd's reasons: Philostratus (the author) was writing during the Christian era and could have borrowed from Christian sources. The problem here is that the gospel writers were also living in a "magical" era. There were lots of magicians, illusionists, miracle workers and religious reformers working the crowds in the time of Christ. Christ was not unique or special. The gospel writers could have just as easily borrowed several ideas from other miracles works just as Philostratus could.
However, Boyd addresses this magical era as well. According to Boyd (dismissing the previous point that the gospel authors could have borrowed stories from others), Boyd says "if you're going to argue for borrowing, it should be from the direction of Christianity to the mystery religions, not vice versa."
Response: This is astonishing. Boyd does not explain why, and there is no good reason to accept this absurd claim. Boyd thinks that the other religions were not contemporary, ignoring that Caesar called himself born of a virgin around the same time as Jesus.
Boyd argues at baptism could not have come from pagan sources (such as Mithra).
Response: What Boyd does not explain is that baptism was practiced by the Essenes for at least a century and a half before the Common Era, and John the Baptist is believed to have been an Essene by some scholars.
Near the end of the chapter, Strobel notes Boyd was "on the very edge of his chair" making a case for believing in what you love to believe in because you love to believe in it!
Response: What an excellent proclamation of bias and prejudicial error.
Chapter 7: The Identity Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Was Jesus Really Convinced That He Was the Son of God?
Strobel interviews Ben Witherington III, Ph.D. Witherington and they examine the Hick theory. The Hick theory comes from a British theologian John Hick (and a half-dozen like-minded colleagues) which it is alleged that Jesus never thought of himself as a god incarnate (John Hick, ed., The Myth of God Incarnate 2nd ed. (London: SCM Press, 1993)). In response, Witherington examines several passages from the Bible where Jesus references himself as God.
Response: What Strobel did not do was interview biblical scholars who do not accept these verses as authentic. The fallacy of this argument is that Witherington does not examine the biblical text that predates the gospels, and none of them support the concept that Jesus was god incarnate (thus supporting the Hick theory).
Chapter 8: The Psychological Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?
Interview with Dr. Collins has a doctorate in psychology from Purdue University and teaches at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is the president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, which might offer a clue as to what he's going to say about the sanity of Jesus.
Collins makes the claim that people in Jesus' time thought him mad (John 10:20) because he went around doing miracles. However no Christian critic of the time recorded anything claiming Jesus was crazy, but Collins states that Jesus was not crazy because he did not exhibit the behavior of someone who is mentally disturbed.
Response: How can a psychologist come to this conclusion about someone who lived over 2,000 years ago. Collins say Jesus critics described Jesus in a way that does not fit the description of "a trained mental health professional" but how are the Christian writers of the New Testament were any more qualified as "mental health professionals."
Collins makes the claim here that Jesus' miracles could not be accounted for by mass hypnosis, because first, mass hypnosis doesn't work, and second, the descriptions of the miracles don't fit the phenomenon of mass hypnosis.
Chapter 9: The Profile Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Did Jesus Fulfill the Attributes of God?
The purpose of the chapter is to justify the reasoning behind the Trinity in a Biblical sense.
Response: By using the Bible as the source of the explanation, the discussion is ultimately irrelevent to the validity and factuality of the material itself.
Regardless of personal belief of the positive characteristics of Jesus, the chapter is light on details of the actual functionality of God.
Chapter 10: The Fingerprint Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Did Jesus - and Jesus Alone - Match the Identity of the Messiah?
Explains how Jesus fufilled Old Testament prophecy.
Response: And he did fufill the prophecy - as did a guy named Jim I completely made up right now.
It's easy to fudge facts to fit the story - Strobel's only defense to this point was that he is convinced the unknown writers of the gospels would have checked each other's facts. How that is even possible as none of them were eyewitnesses, he does not explain. He also does not explain why they would care about people embellishing a character they cared about.
Think of it like Star Wars fan fiction. If you write a story about how R2D2 saved a planet, George Lucas isn't going to come to your house and kill you. He's going to not care, or not even hear about it. Lucas will eventually die, his grip on the franchise will be lost and your story might become as canonical as his is.
Chapter 11: The Medical Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Was Jesus' Death a Sham and His Resurrection a Hoax?
This chapter was devoted to explaining that if you get nailed to a cross, you will die.
Response: To get this far, you must already be convinced that Jesus was a real person that actually did get punished by the Romans, but then Houdini'd himself out of it just for kicks.
It is such a bizarre concern that it makes one think that the only people worried about this sort of minutia in such an incredible story are Lee Strobel and bored kids in Sunday School.
Chapter 12: The Evidence of the Missing Body[edit]
- Subtitle: Was Jesus' Body Really Absent from His Tomb?
Response: Strobel goes to great lengths trying to explain that a tomb that he hasn't actually seen and doesn't know the location of is actually empty.
For this chapter, he interviews William Lane Craig. Craig's credentials include a doctorate from the University of Birmingham and a doctorate in theology from the University of Munich.
Craig goes on to try to explain away the massive contradictions amongst the gospels of the story from the Trial to the Resurrection. Criag's best response: none of it matters. The gospels main message - that Jesus was tried, found guilty, crucified, declared dead, and rose from the dead - remain consistent.
Response: This is not really surprising, since both Matthew and Luke obtained most of their information straight from Mark.
Craig is satisfied that the details of the story are not consistent, otherwise (Craig argues) this would be a sign of plagiarism.
Response: However, it is agreed amongst the critical biblical scholars that Luke, Matthew and John took as inspiration the writings of Mark. So the use of the plagiarism argument is specious.
The bulk of Craig's arguments against the motive of plagiarism was that the gospel writers motives were "pure."
Response: Nowhere does Craig provide any evidence that the gospel writers were being sincere, he only accepts it as a given.
Chapter 13: The Evidence of Appearances[edit]
- Subtitle: Was Jesus Seen Alive after His Death on the Cross?
Response: Of course. He's seen on grilled cheese sandwiches every day. Who cares? People see Elvis on a regular basis. It isn't reliable testimony, if it was, then all religions would be valid. By itself, an empty tomb does not entail that a dead body came back to life. If we examine the tomb of Napoleon, we do not assume he rose into Heaven.
For this chapter, Strobel interviews Gary Habermas, Ph.D., D.D. Habermas holds a doctorate in divinity from Emmanuel College in Oxford, England. His Ph.D. is from Michigan State University, where he wrote his dissertation on the Resurrection. He is currently the chairman of the Department of Philosophy and Theology at Liberty University, Jerry Falwell's school for evangelical fundamentalists.
Habermas, basing on linguistic evidence, argues the Nicean Creed (quoted from I Corinthians) is in fact a creed of the early church.
Response: However, not once does he bring up the possibility that this section of Corinthians is a later interpolation, nor does he attempt to disprove such a possibility.
Moving on, Storbel and Habermas discuss hallucinations. Habermas quotes Gary Collins as saying that hallucinations are, by their nature, never a mass phenomena. Yet confusing or misunderstood phenomena often are misunderstood by masses of people. For example, the "UFO" seen by hundreds of people in Phoenix on an August night in 1997. Many who saw them swore that the five lights were attached to a huge wing-shaped object. Yet it was later proven by photographic analysis of the videos and still photographs shot that night that they were simply illumination flares lit off over the Goldwater Gunnery Range in southwestern Arizona by the Maryland Air National Guard on maneuvers. There's no question of what they were. But that doesn't stop the hundreds of people in Phoenix from believing that they saw a huge UFO that night. Similarly, it's quite possible for many people to misinterpret a phenomenon with a simple, rational explanation as something supernatural.
Chapter 14: The Circumstantial Evidence[edit]
- Subtitle: Are There Any Supporting Facts That Point to the Resurrection?
Here, Strobel interviews J.P. Moreland. Moreland holds a doctorate in Philosophy from the University of Southern California and is a professor at the Talbot School of Theology. Moreland makes an argument for the martyrdom of the early Christians, that they are different from Mormon and Muslim martyrs. The early Christians were willing to face torturer, no instant death.
Response: However, there is eviddence that the early Christians did not face any torture or persecution. Faith can be a powerful motivator. Many have died or faced torment for their faith, Morelands assumption does not hold any weight.
Next, Moreland addresses the "harden skeptics" who were convinced by the resurrection of Jesus.
Response: The main problem is that Moreland begins with the presupposition that the gospel accounts are reliable and accurate. Moreland mentions Josephus works on James, Jesus' brother. However, the accuracy of Josephus works are highly controversial, even some early church leaders contradict Josephus's account of how James died.
Finally, Moreland concludes the reason for Christianities success must be because it is true.
Response: What Moreland does not take into account is the years of Christians persecuting others and using political and social pressure to submit as many people as possible to their faith. Based on Moreland's own reasoning, he should accept Islam over Christianity.

Warner Bros. reports that 300: Rise of an Empire grossed a strong $17.7 million on opening day, including Thursday night's $3.3 million start. BoxOffice projects a $42.5 million debut weekend.
The debut may be notably off from the original 300's $28.1 million opening day/$70.9 million opening weekend--especially when considering seven years of inflation and 3D prices--but there's no doubt that WB has pulled off a somewhat impressive feat here. The sequel had been tracking more modestly until days before release, bringing to question whether or not the wait for a follow-up without the original's main star (Gerard Butler) and evolutionary marketing campaign had been too long. Now we know. Early word of mouth for Rise of an Empire isn't on fire, but its current 73 percent Flixster score could be much worse given the fanboy core audience.
Meanwhile, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is off to a fair start as well. The Fox/DreamWorks animation hauled in $8 million on Friday, setting it up for a projected $30 million weekend. Though not as encouraging as The Croods' $11.7 million opening day/$43.6 million opening weekend last March, positive reviews and early word of mouth (81 percent on Flixster) could still help Peabody go well past the $100 million domestic mark before all is said and done.
Last week's top flick, Non-Stop, slid 53 percent from its opening day to $4.7 million yesterday. The Liam Neeson thriller has tallied $41.4 million in its first 8 days. BoxOffice projects a $15.5 million sophomore frame.
Fox's Son of God earned another $2.7 million yesterday, off 71 percent from its opening day gross last Friday. The Biblical adaptation has pulled $34.2 million in its first 8 days of release. BoxOffice projects a $9.5 million second weekend.
The LEGO Movie rounded out the top five on Friday with an additional $2.5 million in the bank, down 43 percent from the same day last week. The animated breakout's domestic total now stands at $216.5 million. BoxOffice projects $11.3 million for this weekend.

Philadelphia Phillies – The Players: Ed Delahanty – The Phillies' first major star.
Ed Delahanty, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, would probably be considered one of the first, if not the first, major star to put on a Phillies uniform.
'Big Ed', as he was nicknamed, was born on October 30, 1867, in Cleveland, Ohio, the oldest of seven brothers, five of whom, including himself, would eventually play professional baseball. He would go to high school at Central High School, in Cleveland, Ohio, and then go on to college and graduate from St. Joseph's, before he started playing professional baseball with Mansfield in the Ohio State League. He would then play ball in Wheeling, West Virginia, before having his contract bought early in 1888 by the Philadelphia Phillies as the replacement for the recently deceased Charlie Ferguson. Delahanty would make his major league debut on May 22, 1888 at the young age of 20. Appearing in 74 games, mostly at second base, he would hit a low, for his eventual 16-year career, .228 (66 for 290), with a slugging percentage of .293 and an on-base percentage of only .261, as he would hit just 12 2Bs, 2 3Bs and 1 HRs and steal only 38 bases, as he scored just 40 runs while he knocked in 31.
In his second season as a Phil, his batting average would rise to .293 (72 for 246), as he would play in only 56 games. His slugging percentage would also rise to .370, while his on-base percentage would increase to .333, as he would also hit 13 2Bs and 3 3Bs, while stealing 14 bases. 'Big Ed' would also score 37 runs while knocking in 27. In his third season as a major league ballplayer, he would be among the players who would jump from either the National League or the American Association to join the short-lived Players' League, which was formed in revolt against the reserve clause. Playing for his home town Cleveland Infants of the upstart league, 'Big Ed' would start to show his prowess, as he would play in 113 games, batting .296 (153 for 517), with a slugging percentage of .414 and an on-base percentage of .337. He would hit 26 2Bs, 13 3Bs and 3 HRs, while stealing 25 bases, and would score 107 runs while knocking in 64. After the PL's collapse, he would rejoin the Phillies for the 1891 season. In 128 games, his batting average would dip to .243 (132 for 543), as did his slugging percentage (.339) and his on-base percentage (.296). His power numbers would also drop, as he would only hit 19 2Bs, 9 3Bs and 5 HRs, while he would steal 25 bases, score 92 runs and knock in 86.
The 1892 season would see Delahanty start to become a hitting threat, as he would end the season with his first .300+ batting average as he would hit .306 (146 for 477) in 123 games, with a slugging percentage of .495, leading the league in that category, and an on-base percentage of .360, as he would hit 30 2Bs, 21 3Bs (league leader) and 6 HRs, with 29 stolen bases, while scoring 79 runs as he knocked in 91. In 1893, his batting average would rise to .368 (219 for 595) in 132 games, while his slugging percentage would increase to .583, once again the league leader, and his on-base percentage would rise to .423, as he would hit 35 2Bs, 18 3Bs and 19 HRs (league leader), with 37 steals, as he knocked in 146 runs (league leader) while scoring 145. The following season, his batting average would rise to .400 for the first time in his career as a member of the .400+ Phillies outfield of Billy Hamilton (.404), Sam Thompson (.407) (both hall of famers) and Tuck Turner (.416), as he would hit .407 (199 for 489) in 114 games, ending up in fourth place behind league leader Hugh Duffy (.440, the major league record), with a .585 slugging percentage and a .423 on-base percentage. That year, he would hit 39 2Bs, 18 3Bs and 4 HRs, and steal 21 bases, while also scoring 147 runs as he knocked in 131. In 1895, in 116 games, Delahanty's batting average would drop a little to .404 (194 for 480), while both his slugging (.617) and on-base (.500, league leader) percentage would rise, as he would hit 49 2Bs (league leader), 10 3Bs and 11 HRs, while stealing 46 bases, as he scored 149 times, while knocking in 126.
In 1896, his ninth season as a major leaguer, and his eighth as a Phil, Delahanty would perform several feats. On July 13, 1896, he would go five for five in one game, four of which would be home runs, all of them inside-the-park, thus in one day becoming, so far, the only man to hit four inside-the-park home runs, the second man in major league history to hit four home runs in one day, after Bobby Lowe of the Boston Beaneaters did it on May 30, 1894, and the first player to do so in a losing cause, as the Phillies would lose to the Chicago Colts (now Cubs), 9-8. Overall, in 116 games, his batting average would be .397 (198 for 499), with a slugging percentage of .631 and an on-base percentage of. 472. He would hit 44 2Bs, 17 3Bs and 13 HRs, while stealing 37 bases, as he scored 131 runs while knocking in 126, leading the league in slugging, doubles, home runs and RBIs. In 1897, his ninth year in the National League, his average would drop down to .377 (200 for 530), as he would play in 129 games that season, having a slugging percentage of .538 and an on-base mark of .444, as he would hit 40 2Bs, 15 3Bs and 5 HRs, while also swipping 26 bases, as he crossed the plate 109 times while knocking in only 96 runs. The following season, 1898, in 144 games, 'Big Ed"s batting average would fall to .334 (183 for 548), with similar drops in slugging (.454) and on-base percentage (.426). He would hit 38 2Bs, 9 3Bs and 4 HRs, while stealing 58 bases (league leader), as he scored 115 times while knocking in just 92 runs.
1899, his tenth season as a Phil, would be his best season as a major leaguer, as he would play in 146 games, winning his first batting title with a .410 average (238 for 581), with a .582 slugging mark and a .464 on-base percentage. Delahanty would hit 55 2Bs, 9 3Bs, and 9 HRs, as he scored 135 runs while knocking in 137. 'Big Ed' would lead the National League in slugging percentage, hits, doubles and RBIs, as well as total bases (338), while also being among the leaders in on-base percentage (2), runs scored (4), home runs (3), singles (165, 5). He would also that year hit safely in 31 straight games, while also hitting four doubles in one game, becoming the only man in major league history to hit both four home runs in one game and four doubles in another, as well as collecting 10 straight hits. After his career season, his numbers would dropped as a member of the turn of the century (1900) Phils. In 131 games, his batting average would drop to .323 (174 for 539), as would his slugging (.430) and on-base percentage (.378), as he would hit only 32 2Bs, 10 3Bs and 2 HRs, while stealing just 16 bases, as he would cross the plate just 82 times while knocking in 109. In 1901, in what would turn out to be his thirteenth and final season with the Phillies, Delahanty would play in 139 games, as his batting average rose to .354 (192 for 542), as would both his slugging (.528) and on-base (.427) percentage, as he would hit 38 2Bs (league leader), 16 3Bs and 8 HRs, crossing the plate 106 times while knocking in 108.
In 1902, he would jump to the American League, becoming a member of the Washington Senators, soon having his best season since his 1897 season, as he would win the AL batting title, the only man to so far do it in both major leagues in major league history as he would end a 123 games season with a .367 average (178 for 473), while slugging (.590) with an on-base percentage (.376), both being the league leader. 'Big Ed' would that season hit 43 2Bs (league leader), 14 3Bs and 10 HRs, while he would score 103 times while knocking in 93 RBIs, placing him among the league leaders in hits (4), triples, home runs, RBIs, runs scored (all 5) as well as total bases (279, 4). The following season, 1903, Delahanty would appear in only 42 games, going .333 (52 for 156), with a .436 slugging and a .388 on-base percentage, as he would hit 11 2Bs, 1 3Bs and 1 HRs, as he would cross the plate 22 times while knocking in 21.
Ed Delahanty, although a good ballplayer, would be plagued with a personal life marred by alcohol and gambling. His debts would get so big that at one point he would threathen to commit suicide so that his fellow teammates would have to bail him out. In fact, his mother would at one point travel with him to make sure that he wouldn't kill himself. On the night of July 2, 1903, Delahanty would be taking the train from Detroit to New York so that he could once again jump leagues, this time to join the National League's New York Giants of John J. McGraw. During the trip, as the train reached Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, he would get himself kicked off of train by the train's conductor, after making himself a general nusiance by getting drunk. Delahanty, according to eyewitness accounts, then attempted to cross the International Bridge in the dark. He would then get into a confrontation with Sam Kingston, the bridge's watchman, before running away. Kingston claimed that he then heard a splash. Delahanty would be missing for several days, before his nude, lifeless form would appear at the base of the falls on July 9, later identify by M.A. Green, a stockholder of the Senators.
'Big Ed"s body would be sent home to Cleveland to be buried, with his entire family attending the funeral, along with several friends whom he had made while in the majors, with McGraw acting as one of his pallbearers.
In a 16-year career, 'Big Ed' still has the fifth highest batting average in baseball history (.346) (2596 (75th) for 7505). He is also 13th in triples (185), 32nd in on-base percentage (.411), 36th in doubles (522), 44th in runs scored (1599), 47th in stolen bases (455), 54th in RBIs (1464), 81st in singles (1788) 85th in slugging percentage (.505), and 97th in total bases (3791), while also playing in 1835 games, mostly as an outfielder, and hitting 101 HRs. In his career, he would win two batting titles, lead the league in slugging percentage and doubles five times, in on-base percentage, total bases and home runs twice, in hits, triples and stolen bases one time each, and in rbis four times. As a Phil, in 13 full seasons, he is still the team leader in 2Bs (442) and 3Bs (157), is 2nd in batting average (.348), total bases (3230), runs scored (1367) and RBIs (1286), 3rd in hits (2213), 4th in at-bats (6359), 6th in games (1555), 8th in slugging percentage (.510), and 28th in HRs (87).
In 1945, he would be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee, to help clear up a log jam of players who mainly played in the 19th Century. Teammates Hamilton and Thompson would join him in the Hall in 1961 and 1974 respectively

Manhood in America: A Cultural History
Oxford University Press, 2006 - 322 pages
For more than three decades, the women's movement and its scholars have exhaustively studied women's complex history, roles, and struggles. In Manhood in America, Second Edition, author Michael S. Kimmel--a leading authority in gender studies--argues that it is time for men to rediscover their own evolution. Drawing on a myriad of sources, including advice books, magazine columns, political pamphlets, and popular novels and films, he demonstrates that American men have been eternally frustrated by their efforts to keep up with constantly changing standards. Kimmel contends that men must follow the lead of the women's movement; it is only by mining their past for its best qualities and worst excesses that men will free themselves from the constraints of the masculine ideal.
Condensed and revised in this second edition, Manhood in America features updated chapters and examples that extend its coverage through the Bush administration. Touching on issues of masculinity as they pertain to current events, the book discusses such timely topics as post-9/11 politics, "self-made" masculinities (including those of Internet entrepreneurs), presidential campaigns, and gender politics. It also covers contemporary debates about fatherlessness, the biology of male aggression, and pop psychologists like John Gray and Dr. Laura. Outlining the various ways in which manhood has been constructed and portrayed in America, this engaging history is ideal as a main text for courses on masculinity or as a supplementary text for courses in gender studies and cultural history.

BEAUMONT, Texas - Two people died and more than 80 people were hurt Thursday when at least 100 vehicles collided in Southeast Texas in a pileup that left trucks twisted on top of each other and authorities rushing to pull survivors from the wreckage.
The collision occurred in extremely foggy conditions about 8:45 a.m. Thanksgiving Day on Interstate 10 southwest of Beaumont, a Gulf Coast city about 80 miles east of Houston.
A man and a woman were killed in a Chevrolet Suburban crushed by a tractor-trailer, the Texas Department of Public Safety told KFDM-TV.
Officials at Acadian Ambulance service said that at least 51 people had been taken to area hospitals and at least eight were critically hurt.
It wasn't immediately clear how the pileup occurred, but Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Deputy Rod Carroll said the fog was so thick that deputies didn't immediately realize they were dealing with multiple accidents.
"It is catastrophic," Carroll said. "I've got cars on top of cars."
Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Stephanie Davis told KFDM that at least 100 cars and trucks were involved in the accident.
Carroll said uninjured drivers tried to help as authorities sorted through the wreckage.
"It's just people helping people," Carroll said. "The foremost thing in this holiday season is how other travelers were helping us when we were overwhelmed, sitting and holding, putting pressure on people that were injured."

It's hard to be bitter after a sweet night like that
The crux of it is this: It's a lot easier to get on with life after Doc by just ignoring him and pretending not to notice much of what he's up to. Moreover, it's like daggers to our Blue Jay loving heart every time we hear about Roy's "11-year wait" to get into the playoffs, and how he's finally getting the opportunity that he so richly deserves. How it was so sad that he never got the chance to pitch this sort of game before, and how it is so great that he was able to pick this particular situation to get himself over the top.
Hearing that shit just makes us want leap off a cliff.
And if we're being honest here, we'll confess to being more than a little jealous that our Roy is suddenly becoming everyone else's Roy as well.
But, as our Twitter pal MK Piatkowski quite rightly pointed out last night, we Blue Jays fans had our moment of swiping another franchise's icon away so that he could finally taste glory, so Doc's moment in the spotlight might well be a measured turnabout for what we did to the Milwaukee Brewers with Paul Molitor back in 1993.
In the end, it's really not about us and our sour patch of hurt feelings. It's about watching a guy who gave you so much as a fan continue to burnish his reputation, and make the world see what an extraordinary talent he is. And on that level, there's a certain contentment in seeing Doc shine.

He'll always be our Roy, no matter what he does in Philly.

i have no idea why people have a problem with Jays fans rooting for Roy. what else should one use as criteria for cheering when one's team is not in the playoffs? the organization helped Roy become the force that he is but failed Roy in terms of putting a winning team around him.
cheering for Roy is as much a sad reflection on how little the Jays have given their fans over the last 15 years as it is anything else.
- October 7, 2010 at 12:17 PM
I think Doc will be in the Hall of Fame one day, and I always thought he would have a Blue Jays cap for the induction. That gave me comfort. Anyone else starting to wonder whether that assumption might turn out to be false?
- October 7, 2010 at 12:17 PM
- MJK said...
also, we should be thankful that Roy is not pitching for some douchey organization like the Red Sox or the Yanks.
- October 7, 2010 at 12:18 PM
- Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf) said...
I don't give a rats ass what cap Doc wears into Cooperstown, if that is his final baseball destination. The logo on that cap won't tell the whole story. When we look back at Doc's career, yes, single games like his perfect game, and his no-hitter last night will of course stand out. But his body of work in Toronto, against the AL East during Boston and New York's free-spending ways, will stand the test of time.
- October 7, 2010 at 12:21 PM
Minor technicality: Molitor had been to the playoffs and World Series once with Milwaukee (1982)... but I still accept the analogy. (Also, Halladay and the Phillies haven't won the World Series yet.)
- October 7, 2010 at 12:23 PM
After Roy was traded, I always hoped deep down that after he went to the playoffs and won championship(s), that he'd come back to Toronto to finish his career once his contract was done with the Phillies.
My hope has quickly faded away with Roy's perfect game, being in playoffs for the first time and of course, his no-hitter in the playoffs.
Doc will end his career as a Philly. I don't see him coming back to Toronto. Not after tasting sweet victory in the playoffs.

Roy Halladay is the greatest Jay ever and has EARNED our continued respect and admiration. His amazing performance last night should have been as enjoyable for us Jay fans as Philly fans as indeed for any baseball fan.
Personally, I love the guy and am not bitter he is with Philly, indeed if anything I am now a Philly fan because of him. He earned being able to leave us because he spent 12+ years with us and no, we couldn't give him what he wanted, nay, earned. - A shot at the post season.
I will follow everyone of his starts and cheer him always because I am a Jays fan, a Doc fan and a baseball fan.
- October 7, 2010 at 12:45 PM
- sarah said...
C'mon, Tao. Say Doc had stayed here this year, and something miraculous happened and we made the playoffs. Do you seriously think that his debut wouldn't have included the words "11-year wait"? Such a bullshit thing to nitpick about. It IS sad that he never got the chance to play in that sort of game before. Do you not think it's sad?!
I understand that the comments feel snide to you, but they aren't. They're true.
He belongs to a lot of other people now, yeah. Doesn't make him any less yours.
- October 7, 2010 at 12:57 PM
- Darren Priest said...
I'd say it makes him significantly less ours, but Navin made his case pretty clearly over on BLS:
"Look, I'm tired of the "why should I cheer for my ex-girlfriend?" analogy."
"I'm also sick of the "We've known Doc was this good for the past five years!" complaints."
And he doesn't care what hat Doc wears if he gets into Cooperstown.
I guess we have nothing to bitch about then. We like to watch baseball and players who play baseball at a high level. Why have teams at all? They can all wear uniforms in the same shade of gray and we can watch them play.

I'm a Phillies fan, and I stopped by to see what the reaction to last night among Jays fans would be. As a Philly fan, I can't fault anyone for being bitter or angry (it's what we do best), but I do sympathize with you guys. It's obvious what he meant to you guys, and it hasn't taken long for us to see why. He's one of a kind for sure, and I'm happy to see most of you pulling for him. That said, I know it sucks seeing him do it for another team. We felt something similar when Schilling went to Arizona, only the years since have made it easier to forget him.
You had an entertaining as all hell team up there this year and seem to be loaded with young pitching. Brighter days are ahead, and if nothing else we can agree on this: Anyone but the Yankees.
- October 7, 2010 at 1:17 PM
- sarah said...
Priest! How does it make him any less ours? Did he go away to Philadelphia and hurt your feelings? Does it sadden you that other people love him and he is experiencing deserved success? Roy Halladay is not your favourite fucking indie band. Your time with him is not lessened by his time elsewhere.
Roy Halladay would never have become who he is now without the time he spent here. Don't think he doesn't realize it. He doesn't throw two no hitters in a season, doesn't end up in the playoffs, doesn't become arguably the most dominate pitcher of the decade.. if he doesn't cultivate it in Toronto.
You can piss and moan all you like. But lording a grudge over Halladay because American media is talking about him more often now is ridiculous! What does any of that have to do with Doc? Aim your hurt feelings at ESPN.
- October 7, 2010 at 1:25 PM
- Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf) said...
THAT WAS EXACTLY MY POINT, PRIESTY. Glad it came across.
- October 7, 2010 at 1:29 PM
- Darren Priest said...
I'd just refer you to one of the many "being a fan doesn't always mean being reasonable" posts from the various Jays blogs.
One thing I should clarify, I am not mad at Halladay in any way; I just wish the Jays were in the post-season. If I am being completely honest, part of me wishes he wasn't so instantly brilliant for his new team, but don't think I've been sticking pins in my Todd MacFarlane Roy Halladay figure.
- October 7, 2010 at 1:38 PM
- Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf) said...
Priesty, I wish the Jays were in the postseason too. I wish Doc was doing what he's doing for Philly in Toronto. But he's not. Enough with the "what if" scenarios. The Jays aren't in the postseason, and, for me, Doctober's the next best thing. That's it, that's all.
- October 7, 2010 at 1:45 PM
Extremely well said Tao!
All of those years of saying "If Doc were a Yankee he would be the best thing since sliced bread or Matt Weiters" have finally come true.
The fact that now after his "11-year wait" he is finally getting the recognition he so richly deserves makes the pill a little easier to swallow.
- October 7, 2010 at 3:14 PM
Darnit, why do you Philly fans have to be so darn personable?
...I'm glad you guys love him as much as we did-and do.
- October 7, 2010 at 4:27 PM
- Darren Priest said...
I'm not sure I would assume 85 is typical among Philly fans, but he/she sounds swell.
I have nothing against Philadelphia, a company based there paid my salary for over a year. And when you are paying my salary, you're not getting good value for the money.
- October 7, 2010 at 4:34 PM
- MK Piatkowski said...
Thanks for mentioning what I said, Tao. I remember someone mentioning the analogy before the trade and it stuck with me. (Damn if I can find that post now though.)
Thanks for swinging by, 85. I never imagined in '93 how it must have been for Brewers fans, just enjoyed Molitor playing. Wouldn't blame you guys for doing the same thing. Somehow it helps me deal with this when Phillies fans acknowledge our pain. And yes, anyone but the Yankees.
Good for Doc. Karma sucks. And I can't even deal with the idea that Doc will go in the HOF not a Jay right now.
- October 7, 2010 at 4:39 PM
- Brad Fullmer Fan said...
Get over the bitterness already, Tao.
If you stop thinking of Halladay in terms of his uniform and start embracing his performance as a pitcher, you'll move past this pitiable, unbecoming stage.
- October 7, 2010 at 5:32 PM
- Darren Priest said...
BFF, as much as I'd like us to be bffs, you need to appreciate the many layers of emotional complexity in Tao's writing. It's kind of like the many layers of the burrito that Tao has every day for lunch.
- October 7, 2010 at 5:35 PM
- Brad Fullmer Fan said...
Emotional complexity?
These are the classic feelings of a spurned lover.
- October 7, 2010 at 7:53 PM
Another Phillies fan here to reiterate what 85 said earlier. I can truly feel your pain having been through similar circumstances.Reggie White in football was truly loved here but he was made to leave by an arrogant owner who wouldn't even offer him a contract. I was happy for him when he won with Green Bay. Thank you for letting us share your "Doc" he is as loved here as among us Phillie fans he was with you. I'm sure if he could have written the script he would have chosen to remain a BlueJay and won it for all you. Still hate you guys for 93 though.
- October 7, 2010 at 9:46 PM
Speaking of spurned lover talk, you may want to stop grinding the axe dude.
People go to DJF for the comments, and people come here because they like how Tao and Ack write. If you don't like the content, and you just want to bitch, I think you should probably stay over that-a-way.
(But you enjoy being a pain in the ass, so any effort I put into those keystrokes was certainly wasted.)

As most people probably know im touching up the graphics on operation drug war. The conditions i have put on this touch up are:
- No style change
No XML change
Full Draft
Army number test
Changed the special army circles to make them look finish. I reckon this is now a fully finished draft i think. So i have posted it with the army numbers aswell
To Do
Still got to finish the small map, post it soon.
But mainly moving a few army numbers to make it fit better.
General thoughts on the graphics please?
Border styles:
- A - pen effect on the photo More about the style rather than implementation
B - Adding borders in gimp
C - Borders added in the 3D program when making everything else
So here is my first (almost (special army circles and names need properly doing)) complete draft. Major questions i want answering:
- Im planning to keep the legend the same, any comments?
Do the borders from the top 2/3 or bottom 1/3 look better? (ignoring the errors on the top part, it is just style im looking at, and the bottom ones can be made more bright)
Do borders going under things (cars etc) ruin them? Will people still be able to understand them?
Original Image for comparison etc.
Original Thread
Cheers Tel.

Benjamin Gawthrop is my 1st cousin 3x removed. Our common ancestors are my 3x great grandparents Martin Gawthrop and Ann Kighley. Benjamin is the son of Benjamin Gawthrop and Elizabeth Eastwood. He is also the cousin of John Gawthrop who I have written about here and here.
Benjamin was born on 10 August 1869 at Trawden in Lancashire. I have found him on the census returns for 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901.
In 1891 Benjamin is living at 3 Heath Street, Burnley, Lancashire and is described as a 'theological student'. By 1901 he is a 'Baptist Minister" and living at 91 Cardigan Terrace, Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Benjamin married Jane Hargreaves in Burnley sometime in Q2 1895. They had four children
• Helen May – b. 1896
• Benjamin Clifford – b. 1899
• Annie – b. 1900 (and died as a baby)
• Robert Martin – b. 1908
On 16 April 1908 Benjamin, Jane and their three children left England. They sailed from London on the SS Orontes bound for Sydney, Australia.
Sadly Jane died after only six years in Australia.
Benjamin later married Constance Lillian Butler on 7 November 1916 in Randwick, New South Wales, Australia. At some point around 1918 Benjamin and Constance returned to England but I have not been able to establish exactly when this was. They had one son – John Richard – born 1920 in Sabden (near Burnley), Lancashire.
All three of them went back to Australia on 23 June 1927 sailing from London on the SS Barrabool to Sydney. Here's the extract from the ship's passenger list.
It was in Australia that Benjamin had much influence and made a big impact in the communities he served.
The Baptist Theological College of New South Wales was established in 1916 and Benjamin was a founding member of the faculty when the college opened. Here's a link to The Baptist Recorder from July 2006 commemorating the 90th anniversary of the college's opening. There is a brief biography about Benjamin which reads as follows:-
Gawthrop was a scholarly fellow and became the College's first lecturer in Church History.
He came from Heaton Road church at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, where he had been the minister from 1894. When he arrived there the membership was 60 and when he left 14 years later the number had risen to 388. It had been his first and only English church to that time. Born at Colne, Lancashire, and educated at Rawdon College.
He came to Australia to take the pulpit of the Petersham Church where he began in June 1908 and remained until April 1918 when he returned to England. He was a strong church man and wrote and preached regularly on the importance of the church, which he firmly believed was the direct creation of Christ. He considered that being a Christian meant being a member of the church. Strongly evangelical, he shared Waldock's conviction that being called to be a preacher of the Gospel was the highest honour Christ could bestow on any man.
Both Benjamin and John Gawthrop seem to have done great work in their respective faiths. I am proud to have them as ancestors.

The name Carradice is on my mother's side of the family. The earliest ancestor with the name I have found is my is 3x great grandfather John Carradice. He was born in Kendal, Westmorland (United Kingdom) about 1807. There are potential candidates for his father in the records but I haven't yet been able to determine the right person. This is a work in progress.
According to surnamedb Carradice is an interesting and unusual name of Medieval Scottish origin. It is said to be a phonetic variant of the locational name Carruthers. This apparently comes from the parish of Middlebie, Dumfriesshire and pronounced in local speech as "Cridders".
Modern variants include – Crothers, Carrodus, Cardis, Cruddace and Caruth.
I rather like our family folklore interpretation which suggests that the name is of Italian origin and should be pronounced "Carradeechie"
Anyway, my John Carradice married Ann Ridley in Kendal on 2nd February 1829. They had at least 13 children. Their youngest child, Mary Jane is my 2x great grandmother. She was born 8th November 1854 – it's her birthday in a couple of days, must remember to raise a glass in celebration. Mary Jane married Thomas Turner on 29th June 1872 at the Register Office in Kendal and she died on 18th April 1917 in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
I do not have any photographs of any of my Carradice ancestors but keep searching the Internet in the forlorn hope that one might turn up from a long lost relative somewhere.
