[[Christianity]]'s teachings are derived from the life, teachings, death and resurrection of [[Jesus Christ]] in the 1st century A.D.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Christianity Christianity], Britannica</ref>
The [[historicity of Jesus]] focuses on whether [[Jesus Christ]] existed as a real historical person, or whether he is simply a mythological imagination. The evidence for the existence of Jesus is overwhelming, as is agreed upon by every professor in every academic institution in every relevant field in the world.<ref>Ehrman, Bart D. Did Jesus exist?: The historical argument for Jesus of Nazareth. Harper Collins, 2012. Second introductory page.</ref> In other words, for someone to argue that Jesus never existed (and thus is merely a [[Mythology|myth]]) is to place himself against not only the field of scholarship and the historical record, but even against reason and common sense.
