50. What evidence is there outside of the Bible of the existence of Jesus Christ?

A number of the most eminent historians, both Jewish and Roman, mention Jesus in their writings.

Tacitus, who lived in the first century, wrote "this sect (of Christians) came from Judea and was founded by Jesus Christ, who was put to the death of the Cross."

Lucan, who lived near the close of the first century, mentions the Christians and describes their belief.

He tells us "of all the great men Judea has brought forth, their crucified Master exceeds in his philosophy and teaching all before him." A magnificent tribute from a heathen!
