S1 E007 : Historical Writers Who Mention Jesus

In this episode of Written and Read, we explore an important question about the historical foundation of the Christian faith: are there writers outside the Bible who mention Jesus?

We examine several ancient sources, including Josephus, Tacitus, and Pliny the Younger, and look at what they say about Jesus and the early Christian movement. These writers were not Christians, and in some cases were opposed to Christianity, yet they still confirm key details recorded in the New Testament.

This episode helps demonstrate that the life of Jesus is not only recorded in Scripture but is also grounded in real, verifiable history.
