Josephus and other contemporaries on Jesus

[RoadRunner79]

I don’t know how far outside of Galilee word of Jesus spread during his ministry. However after it spread quite a bit, and is still doing so today.

I think it’s reasonable that in his three year ministry, that writers a ways off, didn’t take notice, even if he did what has been witnessed to. In any case, there isn’t really a valid argument from silence to be had. And there are other significant figures, who the only records we have are from after their death. As Tim noted in his article. When you look at some who actually do create lists of writers at the time, many of the mentions are somewhat laughable. And many writings we only know of through reference, because they haven’t survived the ravages of time. However Christian writings which are quite detailed have survived, and do tell of the man whom Christians follow.

And, so, you accept the Gospel of Peter?

No I don’t.

Edit: although I suppose that the question of what I believe or do not believe about the Gospel of Peter may be relevant.
