I am not a Christian and do not believe in the divinity of Jesus of Nazareth, but there is ample proof that he did indeed exist. Many authors refer to him from the time. An excellent book which mentions this period of history and the role of Jesus of Nazareth is "A Short History of the Jewish People" by Cecil Roth, 1936.

Old, well written authoritative history books are worth their weight in gold. I have many of them.

The film maker is being disingenuous with the truth. Re-writing history to suit one's commercial purposes is not a good idea. History has meaning. Everything happens for a reason.

Whatever any author got about the Lord Jesus Christ, he got from the Gospels.

No contemporary historian mentioned him.

It was alleged that Josephus mentioned him but that was exposed as an later insertion.

Interesting, no one can force anybody to be "Christian". Many are called few are chosen.

Psalms 22 written hundreds of years prior to the even, penned by King David, a prophet and interestingly that is exactly what took place.
