There is also secular references that Habermas and Licona point to in order to illustrate how much we have from that period compared to a well-known Roman Emperor who would have had enough written about him and perhaps by him to fill a small library.
In Habermas' The Case for Christ's Resurrection, he mentions how ancient historian Paul Maier remarks that "Many facts from antiquity rest on just one ancient source, while two or three sources in agreement generally render the fact unimpeachable." I mentioned Chandler previously, and in the same work he observed "Major contours of history hang on much thinner wires than the events of the New Testament and nobody doubts them!" [*emphasis in original*] These are undoubtedly true and yet we still can find unremitting choruses from skeptics proclaiming it still isn't enough and continue with their demands for more! More! MORE!
