You don t need to source that fact That fact is not in dispute It is the significance of it that is disputed It has already been pointed out ad nauseam that there are no contemporary records for many figures in ancient history and yet we don t have that fact prominently placed in articles on them unless there is a reason to doubt their existence We don t say it of Plato we do say it of Romulus It would be astonishing dare I say almost a miracle if contemporary documents were to survive referring to Jesus The question is whether there is a good reason to take this absence of contemporary evidence as an argument for doubting Jesus s existence If so what is that argument and who has put it forward that is which reputable source has done so
