- Josephus. Previously debunked as you acknowledged.
- NT Apocrypha. Give me a break. Are you seriously trying to sell the idea that NT Apocrypha is not Christian propaganda?
- Tertullian. Born 155 C.E. could not possibly have attested to the mythical event. Plus, of course, he was on the Christian payroll, undoubtedly indoctrinated and not impartial.
- Justin Martyr Born 100 C.E. is in the same boat as Tertullian.
- That leaves Tacitus. Setting the mythicist question aside for the moment and addressing your assertion that the resurrection is “the best attested historical fact of antiquity ever recorded” I must ask where, in all his writings, does Tacitus so much as mention the resurrection?
