Historical Evidence and Crucifixion Confirmation

Despite not having conclusive proof, there are several factors that support the belief in Jesus' resurrection. The fact that Jesus was executed publicly on a cross provides confidence in his death. Ancient historian Robin Lane Fox asserts that the crucifixion is a historical fact. Crucifixion required a team of professionals, making it unlikely that Jesus survived. John witnessed Jesus being stabbed in the side with a spear, confirming his death. Soldiers also handled the body and the centurion confirmed Jesus' death before he was buried.
