Yesu kadiri ya historia

Yesu kadiri ya historia ni ujuzi juu yake unaopatikana kwa kumchunguza kama mtu mwingine yeyote, mbali na imani ya dini, ili kuelewa vizuri maisha yake yalivyokuwa kihistoria.^[1][2][3]

Papyrus P52, iliyoandikwa kwa Kigiriki mwaka 125 hivi, inahesabika kuwa andiko la zamani zaidi kutufikia kuhusu Yesu. Ina sehemu za Injili ya Yohane; mbele 18:31-33, nyuma 18;37-38.

Albert Schweitzer, aliyeandika kitabu maarufu kuhusu Kumchunguza Yesu wa historia.

Fani hiyo inavyodai, ni lazima kuchunguza habari tulizonazo juu yake ili kuthibitisha ukweli wake.^{[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]}

Yesu hakuacha maandiko yoyote. Habari zake zinapatikana hasa katika Biblia, kwa namna ya pekee katika Injili nne na vitabu vingine vya Agano Jipya^[11][11][12].

Yapo pia mengine ya Wakristo yasiyokubaliwa na Kanisa kama Neno la Mungu hasa kwa sababu yalichelewa kuandikwa (kuanzia karne ya 2).

Nje ya Ukristo kuna habari fupi kuhusu Yesu katika maandiko ya waandishi wa Roma, Wagiriki na Wayahudi. Habari hizo zinaangaliwa sana kwa sababu zimetungwa na watu wasiomwamini Yesu kidini^{[11][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][20][21][22]}.

Kwa ujumla zinathibitisha ya kwamba Yesu alikuwepo, na kwamba wakati hao walipoandika alikuwa na wafuasi huko Roma na ya kwamba awali Waroma hawakuelewa tofauti kati ya wafuasi wake na Wayahudi^[23][24]

Kati ya waandishi hao muhimu ni hasa:

1. Mtaalamu Myahudi Flavius Josephus: huyo aliandika miaka 93-94 BK kitabu cha "Antiquitates Judaicae“ (Habari za historia ya Wayahudi) akitaja kifo cha "Yakobo ndugu wa Yesu“ (sura ya 20, 200)^{[25][26][27][28]}.

2. Mwandishi Mroma Tacitus: huyo aliandika mnamo mwaka 117 ya kwamba Kaisari Nero alishtaki kikundi cha “Chrestiani” ya kuwa wamechoma moto mji wa Roma. Aliongeza: “Mtu ambaye ni asili ya jina hilo ni Chrestus aliyeuawa wakati wa Tiberio kwa amri ya Pontio Pilato” (Annales XV,44).

3. Mwandishi Mroma Svetonius: huyo alimtaja “Chrestos” katika kitabu chake juu ya maisha ya Kaisari Klaudio (25,4) ya kwamba huyu amesababisha fujo kati ya Wayahudi wa Roma hivyo Kaisari aliwafukuza wote mjini.

4. Mwanasiasa Mroma Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus: huyo aliacha barua kadhaa zinazotaja Wakristo mnamo mwaka 100 BK. Alimwuliza Kaisari Traianus jinsi ya kushughulikia Wakristo waliokataa kutoa sadaka mbele ya sanamu za Kaisari.

6. While discussing the "striking" fact that "we don't have any Roman records, of any kind, that attest to the existence of Jesus," Ehrman dismisses claims that this means Jesus never existed, saying, "He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees, based on clear and certain evidence."
