  • Focus on the Family

    Strengthening families through biblical principles.

    Focus on the Family addresses the use of biblical principles in parenting and marriage to strengthen the family.

Based on what the Bible teaches, it may not be rational to expect an extensive, or even minute, secular history of Jesus.

He came specifically to Israel, and ministered unto them.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Matt 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

Matt 10: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

That's going to cut out a huge audience.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John 14:22 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

If there is a lack of secular history with regards to Jesus, it doesn't hurt what the Book said,
 
It's the general consensus of the scientific community that Jesus was a real person (I.E There was a man in that time named Jesus). But it would be absurd to assume that if Jesus was real that all the claims about his feats are true. It's a far pace away from being real and preforming miracles.
