Atheistically
Does this not suggest that historical knowledge is correct ?
When I mention history in this context, I am mentioning knowledge. I am mentioning what we know.
Not what is written or perceived as history, what IS studied and determined as historical, often with different amounts of plausibility. Now when it comes to Jesus, the two basic certainties are baptism by John and crucifixion. beyond that are degrees of less certainty to the point of heavily debated possibilities, with none as certain as the 2 foundational certainties all historical studies use as a base. Less a few oddball historians promoting a mythical origin I do not follow.
What is believed on faith often due to lack of study, does not stand up to what scholars determine is historical.
Apologetic rhetoric, is not historical. It factually does not stand up to knowledge because it is often biased based and not studied in depth. It is meant to persuade readers.
