HISTORICITY OF JESUS |
Lucian of Samosata* (c. 120 – c. 180 A.D.) was a second century Assyrian satirist who wrote in the Greek language and mocked Christians. He was also a traveling lecturer and a rhetorician concerned with accuracy. Lucian used his mordant wit to scornfully describe and ridicule early Christians. But by doing so, he left writings confirming that Jesus: was real, was the founder of Christianity, was worshiped by the Christians, and was crucified.
Lucian’s work The Death of Peregrinus or The Passing of Peregrinus), 11-13:
Sources: Sacred Texts, Tertullian * Lucian was born in Samosata, Commagene, Syria — now Samsat, Turkey. |
