Isaac Asimov has written "Asimov's Guide to the Bible" (also 
available in two volumes "...{New,Old} Testament") which is not exactly
a logical criticism but a historical/anthropological/sociological
view of Biblical reports.  Asimov, an atheist, is not exactly sympathetic
to Judeo-Christian beliefs, but in this book he certainly allows people
to believe what they want without beating them over the head with
discrepancies.  The discrepancies are nonetheless reported in objective
detail.  A highly recommended book for Christians, Jews, and students
of religion generally.
