Theology
Did Jesus really exist?
Published Reviewed
Yes, virtually all historians—Christian and non-Christian—accept Jesus' historical existence. Evidence includes New Testament documents, secular historians (Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny), early church fathers, and the rapid spread of Christianity. The question isn't whether Jesus existed but who He truly was.
Why this answer? It starts with 1 Corinthians 15:3-6, then cross-checks Luke 1:1-4 and Acts 26:26 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
