Line 13: − + − − Many of the descriptions in the Gospels have been proven true with modern archeology. Skeptics challenged the existence of Pontius Pilate, for example, about whom there is almost no historical evidence outside of the Gospels. But in 1961, the only known inscription of Pontius Pilate was discovered, confirming his existence.<ref> http://www.bible-history.com/empires/pilate.html</ref> − − [[Lee Strobel]]'s book ''The Case for Christ'' contains a number of interviews with experts on the historical Jesus, and is a good resource on this subject.
→The Historical Jesus: deleted book review. also, case of pontius pilate was not about existence, it was about his title. also, what does this have to do with Jesus?

Tacitus, the Roman historian, wrote about Jesus in A.D. 115<ref>http://www.digisys.net/users/ddalton/evidence_of_jesus_outside_the_bible.htm</ref>, and Josephus, a Jewish historian who did not believe in Jesus' divinity, wrote about Him. <ref>http://www.christian-thinktank.com/jesusref.html</ref>.
