Counter-Belief Challenge

What are the most important books or articles opposed to Christianity, that a Christian ought to deal with if he really wants to defend the truth of his faith? I've read and written on several of these that have received media attention, but I know that's not necessarily the best way to find where the real thinkers are. I'm offering to take up your suggestions--books or articles that you think pose a serious challenge to Christian belief. I'm interested in suggestions from atheist objectors, from questioning seekers, from Christians who are having a hard time understanding something they've read, or (in short) anyone with a good question or challenge for the Christian faith.

I'll do this within a few easy boundaries. I'm not offering to read or respond to anything immoral, by way of sex, violence, and so on. I'm not offering (sorry!) to spend much of my own money on this, so I would ask you to suggest Internet articles or else books I can get through local libraries (York County or Williamsburg). Inter-library loan might work, except the loan period is often very limited. I plan to do this on my own schedule, so it may be several weeks from now before I actually blog on what you suggest. I'll make my own choice of which material to start with, though I expect I'll do more than one of these Counter-belief Challenges. (They may be a couple of months separated.) Those are the boundaries, as far as I can see from here. I'll encourage other blog visitors to read and interact on the same material.

In turn, I'll have some central Christian writing to ask you to read and respond to, if you are one who disagrees with the Christian faith. Fair enough? I'll be looking forward to seeing your suggestions, in the comments here.
