Historicity of Jesus (view source)
Revision as of 16:03, September 24, 2025
, 16:03, September 24, 2025no edit summary
The gospel accounts were written early on, within a few decades of the death of Jesus, which is comparable to the earliness of most other ancient documents of ancient history. Much of our accounts of [[King Herod]] come 150 years after his death from the ancient Jewish historian [[Josephus]], and our earliest biographies on [[Alexander the Great]] were written a staggering 400 years after his death. Therefore, the gospels are considered to be historical documents by scholars, and early enough to contain a number of authentic memories of his life and death.
