Christian apologetics is the branch of theology that deals with answering any and all critics who oppose or question the validity of Christianity. It can include studying such subjects as biblical manuscript transmission, philosophy, biology, mathematics, evolution, logic, history, etc. But it can also consist of simply giving an answer to a question about Jesus or a Bible passage.
Try these and read with an open mind...

When I get some free time I'll take a look at them. However, you can't just discount an organizations research because they are working to validate Christianity. I would suggest that each one of these other websites have the goal to disprove the authenticity of Christianity so they will find information that they believe supports their cause and thus. I truly doubt that anyone out there has put out any information that is truly independent and do not have a motivation leaning one way or the other.
