Actually, Bart Ehrman, who I cited above, was a believer until in-depth research into the Bible made him change his stance. I fall into this demographic as well.
His classes are excellent.
Here is some info on him from Wikipedia:
He began
studying the Bible, biblical theology, and biblical languages at Moody Bible Institute,[1] where he earned the school's three-year diploma in 1976.[2] He is a 1978 graduate of Wheaton College in Illinois, where he received his bachelor's degree.
He received his PhD (in 1985) and MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary, Not hardly NPR.
He is now
the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.I’ve read some of his books. He’s a great resource when it comes to the New Testament.
