Evidences for the Historical Jesus

The Gospels are filled with accounts concerning Jesus’ ministry. Historical and archaeological supports exist for these accounts. Historical evidences are the written evidences: the manuscripts, the ostraca, the inscriptions, the written records that are found in excavations. The archaeological evidences are those things which prove the physical existence of a previous society; the artifacts and relics that support that society. A manuscript is archaeological evidence while the images on that manuscript are historical evidences.

The strongest evidences for the historical Jesus are the 1) manuscripts, 2) the inscriptions, and 3) eyewitness accounts.
