Early historians Josephus, Suetonius, Tacitus, Pliny and Younger all recorded events of Jesus's life.
Many historians agree in regard to the historical documentation in regard to Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. Historically, the tomb was empty on the third day.
The Apostles began preaching about Jesus's resurrection shortly after it happened, in the place that the crucifixion ocurred. Christianity spread quickly as a result. Christ's dead body would have ended the claim of resurrection and Christianity...But of course, there was no dead body. His resurrected body was seen by many believers, unbelievers and skeptics.
To which stories do you refer?
Do they have a Christ who was historically documented and also recorded as crucified, buried and rose again (in accordance with details from hundreds and thousands years old prophecy)?
"Where might I find that prophecy?"
Zechariah 11:12: 11:13; 12:10; Isaiah 50:6; 60:3; Isaiah 55:7; 53:5; Psalm 22:16; 22:18; 22:1; 69:1; 69:9; 31:5; 34:20; Amos 8:9; Isaiah 53:9; Numbers 24:17; Micah 5:2; Psalm 72:10; and Hosea 6:2.
Early historians Josephus, Suetonius, Tacitus, Pliny and Younger all recorded events of Jesus's life. Nonsense.
- Flavius Josephus has been credited with writing: "... James the brother of Jesus who is called Christ"
The term 'Christ' has no meaning in Jewish thought; this line is bogus, and likely added by a later Christian translator (see Mt 27:17).
And in Antiquities there is a whole paragraph given to "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was the Christ ..."
Besides the above objection noted above, the passage interrupts the story line, and afterward the narrative continues smoothly on without further mention of Jesus. Another instance of activist translation. - Gaius Suetonius wrote of Roman Emperor Claudius: "As the Jews were making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he expelled them from Rome."
- Around 110 CE, Pliny the younger (as the Governor of Bithynia - Turkey) wrote a letter to Emperor Trajan asking for advice on how to deal with Christians.
- In 115 CE, Cornelius Tacitus would write of the Roman Emperors prosecuting the Christians. -- based upon the tales of his good friend Pliny the younger.
All of them are reporting about trouble caused by the followers of Christ. Not about Jesus himself.
In fact, with the possible exception of Josephus, none of these men had even been born when Jesus breathing.
