well said elwolverton.
dobs, you'd be hard pressed to find reputable and respected scholars (i.e. not tabloid scholars) that deny the Jesus crucifixion event in history. the debate centers around the Christian's perspective that Jesus rose from the dead.
of course you'll find the occasional journalist, english professor, or tabloid historian that denies it... but just like you'll find the random engineering professor that denies the holocaust (as seen at Northwestern 8 years back or so).
this shouldn't wierd you out though, just because a guy was killed 2000 years ago doesn't mean what he said was true - that all depends on whether he rose from the dead or not.
(and for the record, there are non-biblical, even non-christian, documents that attest to the facts of the crucifixion)
