What is the solid basis that scholars have for believing that Jesus existed? What references have first- and second-century historians made to Jesus and the early Christians?

As good Jean Paul has eloquently said, “It concerns Him who, being the holiest among the mighty, and the mightiest among the holy, lifted with His pierced hands empires off their hinges, turned the stream of centuries out of its channels, and still governs the ages.” Christ in history is undoubtedly more marvelous than Christ in ...

It is wrapped in the letters of Peter, the apostle who depended on God. It is God who hides great mysteries. It is for his faithful to explore for them and find.
