The Historocity Of The Gospels
One of my favorite religion writers, James Arlandson has a very interesting article in the American Thinker today that looks at the Book of John and the historical archeological record and finds a near perfect match.This is just one of the tidbits he touches on, read the whole thing.
All four Gospels, of course, include in their story about Jesus the empty tomb, but John has a few more and fuller details that the Synoptics do not (e.g. the tomb's location outside the city walls), so the empty tomb is discussed in this article. Also, this section has nothing to do with the popular claims that some have found the ossuary (bone box) of Jesus. Rather, this Q & A comes from sound archaeology, not sensationalist archaeology that bypasses many specialists, who deny the claims about Jesus' alleged bone box.

One of the great ironies of the Gospel of John is that the higher critics believe that it was written in the late 2nd, early 3rd century, yet the oldest confirmed New Testament fragment is from John's Gospel.
