Who believes the New Testament?

Answer 1

If you mean the history as told in the New Testament then most historians do not believe it.

There are, however, many historians that are Christian and believe the teachings, ethic and moral of the New Testament are true.

Answer:Hank Hanegraff, in his book Has God Spoken, says "Internal evidence is sufficient to establish the biblical manuscripts as authentic, reliable, and complimentary. External evidence, however, provides remarkable corroborating attestation. Details and descriptions found in the sacred text are attested to by external evidence provided, in many instances, by foes of Christ, not just by the friends of Christ." The writings of the Jewish historian Flavious Josephus provide the most authoritative ancient corroboration for the people, places, and particulars that populate the text of Scripture. In the Jewish War and Jewish Antiquities, he provides a vivid recapitulation of Jewish history from Genesis to Jerusalem's fall in AD 70. Dr. Paul Maier, professor of ancient history at Western Michigan University and author of Josephus: The essential Works, says "Many people use Josephus without even knowing it. What, for example, was the name of Herodia's daughter whose dancing led to the beheading of John the Baptist? Salome, of course, and yet the girl is not name in the Gospels but by Josephus, who also furnishes additional details about John the Baptist as well as James, the half brother of Jesus." Other contemporaries of Josephus include Cornelius Tacitus, widely deemed the greatest first century historian of the ancient Roman Empire, provides corroborating testimony to the biblical account of Christ's crucifixion at the hands of Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius Caesar; Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, best know for The Twelve Caesars, covered Roman history from Jupiter Julius through the death of Nero and the resurrection of the empire under Vespasian to Domitian. Suetonius is well known for gathering historical data from eyewitnesses as well as citing conflicting accounts without prejudice or partiality. Like Tacitus, Suetonius makes reference to the "mischievous religious belief of Jewish devotees willing to suffer ignominious punishments for the sake of Chrestus."

Plinius the Younger was tragically known for his notorious interrogation, torture, and murder of Christians. He asserted that "Christianity had permeated every echelon of society, impacting male and female alike, the young as well as the old, those in the city and those in the country."

In addition to historians, archaeologists have time and time again affirmed, through their work, the reliability of The Bible.
