Yesu kadiri ya historia

Yesu kadiri ya historia ni ujuzi juu yake unaopatikana kwa kumchunguza kama mtu mwingine yeyote, mbali na imani ya dini, ili kuelewa vizuri maisha yake yalivyokuwa kihistoria.Amy-Jill Levine in the The Historical Jesus in Context edited by Amy-Jill Levine et al. 2006 Princeton Univ Press ISBN 978-0-691-00992-6 pages 1-2Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium by Bart D. Ehrman (Sep 23, 1999) ISBN 0195124731 Oxford Univ Press pages ix-xiJesus Remembered Volume 1, by James D. G. Dunn 2003 ISBN 0-8028-3931-2 pp. 125-127

Fani hiyo inavyodai, ni lazima kuchunguza habari tulizonazo juu yake ili kuthibitisha ukweli wake.http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/historicityWhile discussing the "striking" fact that "we don't have any Roman records, of any kind, that attest to the existence of Jesus," Ehrman dismisses claims that this means Jesus never existed, saying, "He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees, based on clear and certain evidence." B. Ehrman, 2011 Forged : writing in the name of God ISBN 978-0-06-207863-6. page 285Michael Grant (a classicist) states that "In recent years, 'no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non historicity of Jesus' or at any rate very few, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary." in Jesus: An Historian's Review of the Gospels by Michael Grant 2004 ISBN 1898799881 page 200Richard A. Burridge states: "There are those who argue that Jesus is a figment of the Church’s imagination, that there never was a Jesus at all. I have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who says that any more." in Jesus Now and Then by Richard A. Burridge and Graham Gould (Apr 1, 2004) ISBN 0802809774 page 34Jesus as a Figure in History: How Modern Historians View the Man from Galilee by Mark Allan Powell 1998 ISBN 0-664-25703-8 pages 168–173

Yesu hakuacha maandiko yoyote. Habari zake zinapatikana hasa katika Biblia, kwa namna ya pekee katika Injili nne na vitabu vingine vya Agano JipyaJesus and the Gospels: An Introduction and Survey by Craig L. Blomberg 2009 ISBN 0-8054-4482-3 pages 431-436Van Voorst (2000) pp. 39-53.

Yapo pia mengine ya Wakristo yasiyokubaliwa na Kanisa kama Neno la Mungu hasa kwa sababu yalichelewa kuandikwa (kuanzia karne ya 2).

Nje ya Ukristo kuna habari fupi kuhusu Yesu katika maandiko ya waandishi wa Roma, Wagiriki na Wayahudi. Habari hizo zinaangaliwa sana kwa sababu zimetungwa na watu wasiomwamini Yesu kidiniVan Voorst (2000) pp. 39-53Robert E.

Kwa ujumla zinathibitisha ya kwamba Yesu alikuwepo, na kwamba wakati hao walipoandika alikuwa na wafuasi huko Roma na ya kwamba awali Waroma hawakuelewa tofauti kati ya wafuasi wake na Wayahudi

Kati ya waandishi hao muhimu ni hasa:

1. Mtaalamu Myahudi Flavius Josephus: huyo aliandika miaka 93-94 BK kitabu cha "Antiquitates Judaicae“ (Habari za historia ya Wayahudi) akitaja kifo cha "Yakobo ndugu wa Yesu“ (sura ya 20, 200)The new complete works of Josephus by Flavius Josephus, William Whiston, Paul L. Maier ISBN 0-8254-2924-2 pages 662-663Josephus XX by Louis H. Feldman 1965, ISBN 0674995023 page 496Van Voorst, Robert E. (2000). Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence ISBN 0-8028-4368-9. page 83Flavius Josephus; Maier, Paul L. (December 1995). Josephus, the essential works: a condensation of Jewish antiquities and The Jewish war ISBN 978-0-8254-3260-6 pages 284-285. 

2. Mwandishi Mroma Tacitus: huyo aliandika mnamo mwaka 117 ya kwamba Kaisari Nero alishtaki kikundi cha “Chrestiani” ya kuwa wamechoma moto mji wa Roma. Aliongeza: “Mtu ambaye ni asili ya jina hilo ni Chrestus aliyeuawa wakati wa Tiberio kwa amri ya Pontio Pilato” (Annales XV,44).

3. Mwandishi Mroma Svetonius: huyo alimtaja “Chrestos” katika kitabu chake juu ya maisha ya Kaisari Klaudio (25,4) ya kwamba huyu amesababisha fujo kati ya Wayahudi wa Roma hivyo Kaisari aliwafukuza wote mjini.

4. Mwanasiasa Mroma Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus: huyo aliacha barua kadhaa zinazotaja Wakristo mnamo mwaka 100 BK. Alimwuliza Kaisari Traianus jinsi ya kushughulikia Wakristo waliokataa kutoa sadaka mbele ya sanamu za Kaisari.
