"Documentation was being composed all over the place from what I've gathered. I heard there were large collections and camps of view points and such up until the Council of Nicea." The earliest documented history of Christ was written 50-70 years after he was supposed to have died and arisen... The more strident Christians are trying to argue it down to 30 years but without academic historical studies or records... A historian of the time named Josephus is the one who was supposed to have written the earliest account.

Did a historical Jesus exist? No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus came well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because all sources about Jesus derive from hearsay accounts. nobeliefs.com
