Historian Philip Schaff described the overwhelming influence which Jesus had on subsequent history and culture of the world. "This Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science...he shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of schools, he spoke such words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times."
Baada ya kuchunguza mathibitisho ya ufufuo kama yalivyoandikwa na waandishi wa Injili, marehemu Simon Greeleaf, aliyehitimu kwa mambo ya kisheria katika Harvard Law School, alisema; "Haingewezekana kamwe kwao kuendelea kusisitiza ukweli wa mambo walionena, kama Yesu kweli hakufufuka kutoka wafu, na kama hawakujua jambo hili kama walivyojua ukweli wowote mwingine walioujua kwa uhakika. John Singleton Copley ambaye ni mwanasheria aliyetambulikana sana, alisema: "Najua kiasi kwamba ushahidi ni kitu gani; nakwambia, ushahidi kama ule uliotolewa kuthibitisha ufufuo bado haujawahi kuvunjwa."
