Quote:In conclusion, while Christian apologists may find proof of Jesus as a historical figure in a few Classical authors, the professional Editors and Contributors of this long standing "Ultimate Reference Work on the Classical World" would strongly disagree!

How could "Jesus" be a historical figure when the name didn't exist until the 16th or 17th Century?
