    That’s fair. I don’t mind looking into the article.

    The first, and subsequently multiple, source in the article claiming that Jesus was real is from William R. Herzog. He was a Presbyterian minister.

    Mark Allen Powel is also sourced. An ordained minister of the American Lutheran Church.

    I’ll look into more of it later, I’ve got things to do. But so far it’s all church members affirming the belief.

      I found one source linking to Herzog and Powel and it’s the same claim that “the only historical fact we can confirm about Jesus in the Bible is that he was baptized and crucified.”
