Are there are any good sources discussing wives/concubines of Prophet Muhammad that also counter common polemics i.e Raynah, Zaynab, Maria, Aisha etc. (peace be upon them)

preface: I care about truth and salvation. I don't want to waste time money energy "trying" out falsehood or praying to something that isn't real. It's flat out stupid to do so. I have listed all "proofs" I've come across for modern Christianity. Please add more of explain CONCRETELY why my understanding is wrong. (sir I link your name because I want fair third party observer).

1.Some apologists argue for the minimal facts approach to the resurrection. but under careful scrutiny many of those facts aren't really facts but assertions i.e an empty tomb existed but to this day there hasn't been identification and two exist (church sepluchre and garden tomb) and Paulian espitles show no awareness of a tomb). I have posted more thorough discussion of Surah 4.157-158 in r/debatechristian. But even if I were approaching tabula rasa (agnostic) I wouldn't find this minimal facts approach a serious "proof".

  1. NT reliability (transmission and historical value) has been argued by some. But New Testament scholArs who actually work in textual criticism disagree and historical eval disagree and its quite clear from consensus view reiterated here: (focus on arguments) https://youtu.be/b-cZncVmtIU

  2. "Old Testament messianic prophecies of a divine blood sacrificial messiah"... I.e Isaiah 53 suffering servant, etc. these passages are taken out of context or misrepresented and christian scholarly consensus doesn't recognize them. http://youtu.be/hsPgvgbxpxU

  3. Historical jesus scholars (ie EP sanders, John meier, etc) conclude Jesus didn't believe he was divine but to be frank anyone who makes assumption using koine greek w/o authentication scheme is seriously too liberal for me. Pretty much all christian doctrine aren't rooted in past's reality.

4.5 Plethora of early christian understanding who Jesus, value of law, etc. makes tracing his teachings and apostles understandings impossible/conjecture based on current data

  1. Ultimatley I have found christians to pretty much frame discussion with only atheist not other theist. Christians use non-exclusive arguments for a God and then claim miracles are possible hence Jesus was raised from the dead.

5.5 throughout early til today christian history it's been impossible to Come up with unified understanding of God and even then there still different understanding based on Old Testament with Judaism (considering practiced some resembling religion to Moses). So to argue for existence of christian God is problematic because one has define some entity so that the search can proceed.

i'd appreciate feedback
