Must be connected to Matthew 27:50-53:

“And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.”

The most important historical facts are the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These facts make belief in the divinity and love of Jesus the most important facts of life.

Folks rightly focus on the direct historical references to Jesus when assessing the historical truth of Jesus. But there are other indirect sources which fall into a more ambiguous category like the one about Quadratus.

(One of the more interesting ones, to my mind, concerns Pilate, Tiberius and the Roman Senate, and is subject to many valid objections, but still seems to contain at least a grain of truth):

Every man, atheists included, has a fundamental faith which is the basis for his way of thinking and looking at the world. Faith in Jesus, IMO, is the one which makes the most sense and has spiritual value no other faith can offer.
