Great read Text, but I do have a question of two. The Romans and the Jews were meticulous record keepers, but there is no record of Jesus, especially his crucifixion. How does this square? I've read the records of Pontius Pilot supposedly exist, but no word of Jesus. So while I appreciate what you're saying about the Christian documentation to support "historical" Jesus, isn't this just the early oral narrative that was used as the basis for the Church? Why would there not be any documentation from the Romans or Jews to support the existence of this all important figure?
