If Jesus was a real historical individual, then do we have any confirming evidence for his life and ministry from sources outside the New Testament?

Maier, author of In The Fullness of Time, and editor of Josephus: The Essential Works.

Some today are arguing that the New Testament is so full of transmission errors and scribal additions that it cannot be trusted. But is this really the case? Has the Bible been copied so many times that it is basically unreliable? On this edition of White Horse Inn the hosts discuss this issue with New Testament textual critic Philip W. Comfort, author of Encountering the Manuscripts and editor of The Origin of the Bible.
