Historical Evidence for the Existence of Jesus Outside the Bible

Since I am still in the evidence-gathering stage concerning the historical argument, I will refrain from drawing conclusions at this time. Instead, I encourage everyone to read the evidence with an open mind and share any thoughts you have by leaving a comment!

Dr. Jim Denison has compiled evidence for the existence of Jesus using non-Biblical sources. For his article, see http://www.godissues.org/how-do-we-know-jesus-christ-existed/

Historians listed by Dr. Denison (in case anyone wants to do more research):
  • Thallus the Samaritan
  • Mara bar Serapion
  • Suetonius
  • Tacitus
  • Pliny the Younger
  • Flavius Josephus (some of Josephus' works may have been tampered with)
