John Dominic Crossan on Jesus' Death - Apologetics 315

Brian Auten has posted a very interesting quote from Dr John Dominic Crossan. Crossan is as heretical as they come, yet he recognizes that Jesus truly existed

"Jesus’ death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate is as sure as anything historical can ever be. For if no follower of Jesus had written anything for one hundred years after his crucifixition, we would still know about him from two authors not among his supporters. Their names are Flavius Josephus and Cornelius Tacitus."
