Chapter 4 Discussion Questions

Here are some discussion questions to think about for chapter 4. I will post some responses in a couple of days.


1. Can you think of references to Jesus Christ in ancient literature that are not in the Bible?


2. Who was Josephus and why is he so important?


3. How do many people explain the darkness that occurred during the crucifixion?


4. Why does the Bible paint a picture of Pilate being compassionate towards Jesus when secular history says he was very inconsiderate to Jews?


5. How does Jesus' biographical material compare with that of leaders of other world religions?
