OF
THE LIFE, DEATH & RESURRECTION
OF
JESUS CHRIST 2 Extra-biblical: "pertaining to information or content outside the Bible."
Hostile Witness: "a witness who gives evidence against the party calling him."
"Far from being a blind faith -
Christianity is based on
the sufficiency of the evidence."
-pastor Brad EXIBIT #2: The Annals of Imperial Rome, by Publius Tacitus. "Nero fabricated scapegoats - and punished with every refinement the notoriously depraved Christians (as they were popularly called). Their originator, Christ, had been executedi n Tiberius' reign by the governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate. But in spite of this temporary setback the deadly superstition had broken out afresh..." -p. 365, bold mine As noted by classicist, Michael Grant, standard historical criteria prevent one from rejecting the existence of a historical Jesus (Jesus: An Historian's Review, pp. 199-200). In addition, Professor James D.G. Dunn states that the body of evidence surrounding the life of the historic Jesus is undeniable. Any attempt to construe the Jesus of the Bible as myth is "a thouroughly dead thesis" (Paul's Understanding of the Death of Jesus, p. 126). Mr. Maher? Your witness.
