I cannot view p. 431 of the Feldman book in the ref to the sentence that was simply deleted, excised from the article. But if Justin Martyr did discuss the character of Jesus and the character of his divinity in his treatise agains Trypho as the deleted sentence said, then it is also a discussion of his existence that occurred in antiquity, before Eusebius. I believe that is relevant, referenced information that should not be deleted without examining the motives of the editor deleting it. Thank you, warshy(¥¥)18:01, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
Page 431 is the index in the book. It is not a chapter or essay in the book. So it looks like someone tried to add that source and inserted the mythicist claim on existence of Jesus. The rest of the books does not make a claim on existence of Jesus either. The deletion was correct. Furthermore, there never were any debates on the existence of Jesus until recently in the last 2 or 3 centuries. Even the enemies of Christians were never doubting Jesus existence.Ramos1990 (talk) 00:03, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
