Many references to historic/biblical Jesus. You can argue the authenticity of some of the writings, but that can be argued for many historic writings of anywhere or anyone whom there are no living eye witnesses. There are only two possible conclusions, either it's true or a lie. But one would think that if it was a lie, then only positive writings of Jesus, the church, and early Christianity would have been written. What of the negative ones? Just some food for thought...
