Christian apologists often cite the Epistles of Paul or the historians of the 1st and 2nd century CE Jospehus, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, and Suetonius, as proof that the man we have come to know as Jesus Christ actually existed. Here is why their proof is no proof at all. Historians ...

The reference to Jesus being the brother of James fits the New Testament data, but that Jesus is further identified as the Christ is remarkable in light of the following quotation from Josephus. Here He is already called the “Christ,” i.e., the Messiah. ...
To be clear, as I have argued in the past, there is a strong, historical argument for the existence of Jesus Christ and his crucifixion by Romans. However, there is not compelling evidence to suggest that the claims in the Gospels of his death coinciding with some celestial darkness event,...
