Witnesses: NT manuscripts (~5800 Greek) as textual copies, plus internal claims of eyewitness origins.
Early Church Fathers: 36,000+ quotes by 4th century; nearly entire NT reconstructible from them alone.
Historical materialism: views history via class/economics (Marxist), treating supernatural as ideology or myth.
NT not fully "historical" under methodological naturalism: miracles rejected a priori. Most scholars accept Jesus existed and was crucified; resurrection remains outside secular history.
