Flavius Josephus
Josephus was born
in 37A.D. and was a Jewish Pharisee. He wrote: "Now there was about this
time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of
wonderful works ..... Pilate ... condemned him to the Cross ... he appeared to
them alive again on the third day."
The Crucifixion of
Jesus Christ was widely accepted and discussed by a great many ancient writers
The fact is that
the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ was accepted as fact by a great number of
ancient writers. The Crucifixion was widely discussed as a fact by both
Christian and secular writers, many of whom wanted to discuss the three hour
period of darkness during the Crucifixion, which obviously greatly alarmed the
ancient world.
