Four things to know before historical investigation of Jesus: (1) Historical investigation is limited — historians intentionally bracket inspiration of Scripture. (2) Failure to confirm ≠ denial it happened. (3) History is probabilistic — the best verdict is "extremely likely," never 100%%. (4) Scholars are people with biases — Bart Ehrman rejects miracles by methodology, not evidence ("as a historian you're not allowed to posit miracles").

Framework for historical investigation of Jesus
Mike Licona's 9-point probability scale for historical claims. Ehrman's methodological anti-supernaturalism: no matter what the evidence, you can't conclude a miracle — this is a bias built into the method, not a conclusion from the evidence. If you approach Jesus's predictions as normal historical events, the evidence strongly supports them.
