Jesus is introduced as the Son of God who created the world and purged humanity's sins. Multiple historical sources such as Tacitus, Lucian, Suetonius, and Josephus corroborate that Jesus lived, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and his followers believed he resurrected. The gospels and epistles establish Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, the Word of God made flesh, and one with God the Father.
