We have … more sources for Jesus than we do for either Socrates or Alexander the Great. Not only are there four biographical accounts of Jesus (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), all likely written within 30-60 years of Jesus’ life, but there are letters written by Paul that are even earlier, as well as citations by non-biblical sources such as Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Seutonius, and the emperor Trajan (among others). By contrast, the earliest biography we have for Alexander the Great is over four hundred years after he lived.
