We have the churches the started in early Christianity, we have writing of the early Church that spoke of them. While there where some disputes in the authors of the New Testament, there is a lot of agreement as well. Every copy that we have of the Gospels, which is in tact eneough to have a title page or title at the top, all ascribe them to the same author. What type of evidence or historical method are you thinking of? How many people from the time, can meet these requirements? For that matter, how many today could?
For the umpteenth time, this is evidence for Christianity. It is not evidence for the existence of Jesus.
The question was asked, why nobody from the time called Jesus by name... which is what I answered. What type of evidence would you accept or expect? Perhaps your expectations are unrealistic.
