Biblical contradictions and absurdities:
Relevant issues of
Biblical errancy
Nearly every issue of Biblical Errancy contained at least some Biblical contradictions. It also had reader feedback, with commentary by the editor.Below are links to issues in which the mentioned contradictions are introduced. But it's good to read the follow-up in subsequent issues also, to see how Christians try to explain away the contradictions.

See also my lists of Biblical Errancy pages on the topics listed below. The following pages too contain lots of contradictions -- and, for the most part, even more important contradictions than the ones listed above, because the following topics pertain to central doctrines of Christianity.
- Bible-sanctioned cruelties and other Biblical nastiness -- contradicting the idea that God is "good," loving, and just.
- The Bible and ancient history. See especially the contradictions pertaining to the Resurrection.
- Was Jesus the Messiah?
- Heaven, hell, "love," and "justice"
- Biblegod's finitude -- contradicts the idea that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent
- Morality and its foundations
