Experts say there is compelling evidence to support the story of Jesus recounted in the gospels, including written accounts by non-Christian authors, archaeological artifacts, and physical evidence such as the remains of a crucified man. Written records from ancient times recognize Jesus as a real person, with Roman historian Tacitus describing his execution by Pontius Pilate. The Alexamenos Graffito, a crude drawing mocking Jesus, is considered evidence of the embarrassing details of his death. The discovery of a Byzantine basilica in Israel believed to be the Church of the Apostles provides indirect support for the historical context of the Bible. However, the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin and the James Ossuary, both associated with Jesus, remains highly contentious.
