It is time to hear from the real historians. What is the verdict about Jesus the man of history from those who are actually skilled and certified in the craft of history? Professional historians do not believe the New Testament account is merely a retelling of ancient myth. Not every historian endorses every detail of the Gospel records, to be sure. Many academics reject the supernatural elements for reasons completely unrelated to the general reliability of the record (that is another issue). However, scholars both liberal and conservative overwhelming agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a man of history and the Gospels, on the main, tell his story accurately.

Note, for one, Will Durant, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian who wrote the most successful work of history in history, the eleven-volume The Story of Civilization. Durant concludes his material on Christ this way:

No one reading these scenes can doubt the reality of the figure behind them. . . . After two centuries of higher criticism, the outlines of the life, character and teachings of Christ remain reasonably clear and constitute the most fascinating feature in the history of Western man.7
