The Record Of Secular History And Jesus
BY ROBERT CLIFTON ROBINSON on MAY 26, 2019 • ( 0 )
For many years a great number of people have maintained that there is no record of Jesus outside the narrative of the Bible. For this reason, some have concluded that He is merely a myth or legend.
From the non biblical record of history we can reconstruct the entire life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The majority of these texts speak of Jesus in derogatory or non-complementary terms. None of these texts are seeking to prove the existence of Jesus nor validate Him as a genuine person of history. In fact, by their non complementary and often scathing remarks, these writers of antiquity have preserved for us a substantial and conclusive chronicle of the same events that are a part of the New Testament narrative.
