Finding your DNA on a woman's panties after she alleges you've raped her is qualitatively far more conclusive as evidence that you did in fact do so than is her neighbour saying he thought he saw your car parked on the street that day.

A brief list would be helpful here, if you could put something together.All of the writings from the first one hundred years. Christian, Jewish, and pagan. I would also consider some that predate Christianity to acquaint myself with the culture and philosophy in which the authors of the new faith were deriving their inspiration and to understand how they were interpreting what they considered spiritual events.
