Answer 1

1. Limited historical records, the passage of time, and the religious nature of Jesus' life contribute to our limited knowledge about him.2. Historians generally agree on three key aspects about Jesus: his baptism by John the Baptist, his crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, and the emergence of the Jesus movement after his death.3. The scarcity of historical evidence, reliance on religious texts, and the need to interpret stories from early followers make understanding Jesus and Christianity challenging.4. During Jesus' time, writing materials were expensive, and his life may not have been considered noteworthy enough to document contemporaneously.5. Jesus was born during the time of the Roman Empire.
