For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus

I don't find it astonishing that pagan Roman writers didn't give details of what they regarded as superstition. The only way that the development of Christian beliefs can be figured out is by studying the early Christian writings which survived. There's no way of knowing what was in the texts which didn't survive unless somebody quoted from them.
