The Mark[an gospel] fragment… was dated by one of the world’s leading paleographers [who] was ‘certain’ that it was from the first century.

[That claim was never substantiated evidentially and some have suggested Dr. Wallace’s team were the victims of antiquities fraud.]

The Resurrection: A Real Historical Event

http://probe.org/the-resurrection-fact-or-fiction/

—————

The New Testament is the universally-acknowledged primary historical source (even among skeptics who reject its reliability) regarding the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. But in the New Testament Jesus says many exceedingly strange — even outrageous — things about Himself, about God (including equating Himself with God), and about us.  The 20th century British literary scholar C.S. Lewis put it this way in his classic apologetic Mere Christianity:

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher.  He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell.  You must make your choice.  Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.  You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher.  He has not left that open to us.  He did not intend to.

The question, then, requires answering: Was Jesus a liar, a lunatic, or what He actually claimed to be — the Lord of all creation.
