Agnostic New Testament expert Bart Ehrman, in his 2009 book Jesus, Interrupted, noted no 1st-century non-Christian Greek or Roman sources mention Jesus—a point he made to explain why a Galilean preacher wouldn't catch elite notice, not to deny his existence. Ehrman has long argued for a historical Jesus, baptized by John the Baptist and crucified under Pontius Pilate around 30 AD, backed by early Christian texts like Paul's letters from the 50s AD, the Gospels, and later references from Josephus and Tacitus. Nearly all scholars agree on this basic historicity, treating the evidence like that for other ancient figures such as Socrates.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A post pulled a line from scholar Bart Ehrman's book to question Jesus' existence, but critics pointed out the full context shows he affirms a real historical figure from 1st-century Judea.

A memo dated March 20, 2025, revealed that Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC notified Swinney that Murrell, Nicola Sturgeon's estranged husband and ex-SNP chief executive, had appeared in Edinburgh Sheriff Court on charges of embezzling over £460,000 from SNP funds between 2010 and 2023. The disclosure, part of the ongoing Operation Branchform probe into SNP finances, noted no charges against Sturgeon or former treasurer Colin Beattie, with Murrell's trial set after May's Holyrood election. Critics, including Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross and Labour's Dame Jackie Baillie, accused Bain of lacking transparency and potentially misleading parliament by not mentioning the early memo during recent questioning, while Bain and Swinney defend it as standard procedure in high-profile cases.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

New documents show Scotland's top prosecutor quietly told First Minister John Swinney about Peter Murrell's embezzlement charge back in March 2025—far sooner than anyone realized.
