Marty, I'm not sure there's any that support the specific life of Christ. I don't know what there would be. There's no archeological evidence my parents lived.
I cited one instance of Erastus in Romans 16:23. FD himself cited the evidence of Pontius Pilate, long thought to be a fabrication of NT writers. There are dozens of rulers and officials named in the NT, many in Acts alone, most verified by so-called secular history.
People take for granted the existence of Socrates but the existence of Bible characters is far better attested. There are many, many more ancient manuscripts of NT books than there are of Plato and Aristotle's writing, assuring the text hasn't been corrupted. You can find a Greek-English interlinear of the NT for under $10 at a used book store.
The OT is even better confirmed by archeology. All those ancient battles and long lost cities being excavated. The Lachish Letters confirm much of Jerusalem's siege by Nebuchadnezzar. This was recorded in 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles and Jeremiah. That's just from memory.
If you are sincere, you might have to do a little digging on your own. That's what I had to do.
I can tell you the Bible record is way more reliable than yesterday's New York Times.
