Did Jesus of Nazareth die by Roman crucifixion, during the reign of Tiberius Caesar, at the hands of Pontius Pilate? Christianity's New Testament says yes. Islam's Quran says no. How would we prove which of these claims is true in a court of law, "beyond reasonable doubt?" By using the method used in trial court law of forcing the one making the claim to prove it. Therefore, historical evidence is examined in an effort to answer the crucifixion question. What does history reveal and what claims can it prove or refute? Even though the New Testament and the Quran are historical documents one can't rest solely on their claims. Archaeology and other historical records must corroborate the claims otherwise the claims are philosophical conjecture and un-provable.
