The Historicity of Jesus Jesus and the Historian “But, above all, if we apply to the New Testament, as we should, the same sort of criteria as we should apply to other ancient writings containing historical material, we can no more reject Jesus’ existence than we can reject the existence of a mass of pagan personages whose reality as historical figures is never questioned.” Historian Michael Grant Michael Grant, Jesus: An Historian’s s Review of the Gospels (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1977), pp. 199-200.
The Reliability of the New Testament Versus Shakespeare “It seems strange that the text of Shakespeare, which has been in existence less than two hundred and eight years, should be far more uncertain and corrupt than that of the New Testament, now over eighteen centuries old, during the nearly y fifteen of which it existed only in manuscript....With perhaps a dozen or twenty exceptions, eptions, the text of every verse in the New Testament may be said to be so far settled d by general consent of scholars, that any dispute as to its readings must relate rather to the interpretation of the words than to any doubts respecting the words themselves. But in every one of Shakespeare’s s thirty-seven plays there are probably a hundred readings still in dispute, a large portion of which materially affects the meaning of the passages p in which they occur.” A literary review cited by John W. Lea, The Greatest Book in the World (Philadelphia, PA: n.p., 1929), p. 15.
