Thanks for this Vincent. It articulates in a more fully-formed manner many of the issues with Andrew’s book that I was groping towards in the original thread on this topic.
I will take some vindication from the fact that I am not alone in considering Andrew’s presentation to be “seriously” worthy of comment, given that Eric’s first criticism is that “[t]he book is too repetitive.” 
Also, if I had to sum up my issues with Andrew’s arguments in a single phrase, I could not do better than Eric’s “Loke’s unbridled and outlandish speculation asserted confidently as fact”.
Given that this thread’s topic is, at least ostensibly, “The Resurrection of Jesus and the Martyr Argument”, I would also like to highlight the following article that Eric suggests:
‘March to Martyrdom (Down the Yellow Brick Road…)’ - by Matthew Ferguson
The original blog post has evaporated, but I was able to find it in the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive.
