Records of the birth, torturous killing and revival of Jesus Christ (c. 5 BC-AD 33), portrayed in scriptural prediction (composed between 1450-430 BC), the brief stories of good news (Luke, Matthew and Mark, composed between AD 50-90), the Gospel of John (composed c. post AD-90), Epistles of Paul of Tarsus (AD 5-67) (composed between AD 50-60), and the Dead Sea Scrolls (composed c. 335-100 BC), to give some examples, have been the subject of authentic and logical interest for quite a long time. Since the purported “Time of Enlightenment” (eighteenth 100 years) when cynics started to address assuming Jesus had as a matter of fact even existed, trustworthiness (in view of prehistoric studies and history) and science (in light of science, science, and physical science) have become more fundamental than any time in recent memory to prove printed sources (for example holy contents, Gnostic compositions). Thusly, four key regions should be investigated: The “Verifiable” Jesus, the virgin birth, the execution, and the revival.
The “Verifiable” Jesus:
Demonstrating that Jesus had truth be told existed is logical the simplest part in view of the presence of records from assorted verifiable sources (for example Roman, Greek, and Jewish). Per Discovery Channel’s David Balsiger (Senior Producer of the “Texture of Time” narrative) “in excess of 20 non-Christian sources” alluded to “Jesus of Nazareth as a verifiable figure” between AD 30-130, “twelve mention(ed) His demise provid(ing) subtleties (and) ten refer(red) to His restoration.”
An example of these verifiable, non-Christian sources, is recorded underneath:
1. Writing (c. Promotion 70-200): Sanhedrin 43a: “just before Passover they hanged [crucified] Yeshu [Jesus].” – Jewish Source
2. Mara Bar-Serapion: Mentioned the “execution of Jesus Who is Jesus to me [who was known as a ‘King’]” while examining the obliteration of the Temple in AD 70. – Syrian Source

5. Thallus: Third Book of History: Made notice of Jesus’ demise in roughly AD 52 while talking about “the obscurity over the land [and earthquake] after His passing” referred to by Sextus Julius Africanus in c. Promotion 221. – Samaritan Source
6. Flavius Josephus (c. Promotion 37-97), Court Historian for Emperor Vespasian: Antiquities of the Jews: Described Jesus’ execution under Pontius Pilate in about AD 93/94. – Jewish Source
