I found this post on logical fallacies interesting. One could apply these not only to our society in general but also biblical studies. This is why D. A. Carson has a whole chapter on logical fallacies in his book Exegetical Fallacies.

A Forthcoming Introduction to Jesus and the Gospels
John Carrol's new introduction to Jesus and the Gospels is coming out in October. I don't know much about it, but you can read an excerpt here or visit a website dedicated to the book here. The website was a bit underwhelming to me but the resources are free and maybe there are plans to add to it one the book is published.
