Bible Question: can someone give me some non-biblical facts referring to Jesus' existance? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, tetelestai46, Most modern historical scholars agree that there was, during the first century, a man named Jesus who was noteworthy or important. Secular history, however, is of little value in knowing or evaluating the claims that he made about himself, because the Bible is the only known source for this kind of information. While this makes it very convenient for skeptics to dismiss the evidence contained in the Bible, it makes sense. The early church made a conscious effort to gather, authenticate, and preserve accounts of Jesus' life (the Gospels) and letters written by those who knew him (the Epistles). That historical evidence became the New Testament. With all the interest in the ossuary recently revealed in Jerusalem and the story (in Popular Mechanics, of all places!) purporting to show what Jesus looked like, it shouldn't be hard to find references to some of the non-Biblical evidence. As inmyhart pointed out, this really isn't an appropriate forum for delving into such matters. Hope this is useful. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
