Barton is an entrepeneur - he markets his products to the conservative/Christian market. I have never considered him a historian. More a collector of facts. As a result, he is probably reaches a bit in his interpretations and misses some items in his research or citations. As in most things, there is probably more to this than just what is in the story. He was shoddy in his interpretation and documentation - but his detractors may also be either hostile to his message or envious of his success/noteriety. In case you haven't noticed, we are in a real culture war and there are those who want to totally expunge Christ and any hint of the gospel from the market square.
