Aside from the Bible, is there any other written record of Jesus?

Is there anywhere else besides the Bible where a man named Jesus Christ is even briefly mentioned?

Short and long answers here

there are bits and pieces of artifacts that suggest there was a Jesus of Nazareth, outside of written texts...and most historians agree that he was a real person

Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, christ's childhood pal by Christopher Moore is worth a read:P Other than that I have no idea.

There aren't any contemporary records of him outside of the Bible, no. I think the one that was written soonest after his estimated death was written 50-100 years after the fact.

In fact, the Gospels weren't contempary accounts but written several decades after the events they list transpired. Most biblical scholars believe The Gospel of Mark was the first one written, and the best estimates for its creation are around 65-70 AD.... more than 30 years after Jesus would have died.

Yes, but Corinthians I was written in the early 50's, which, if you think about it makes sense, why would they write down stuff they are just speaking, most of the New Testament just comes from the disciples of the disciples of Jesus. And there are dozens of other books that didn't make it into the Bible that also are based on Jesus.
