What I am calling for, in part, is more rigour from the "apologists"--they simply don't know the texts or the field well enough, and I think, don't care to learn.

I am grateful for the clarification on your term "apologist" but I must say, reading your SBL article, it still sounds like you are using 'apologist' in a denigrating way. But, if you were using it in a neutral way, then me applying it to you shouldn't be bothersome :-) I do understand that you are not defending the CA and its 'theology' or whatever, but CA scholarship. I would contend that they are defending their scholarship on the CA— not just 'defending the faith' I’m enjoying the dialogue that you have created with this (part of the beauty of the blogosphere).
