The scathing treatise Against the Galilaeans by the last pagan emperor Julian (361-363) accepts the earthly Christ without qualms, with frequent allusions to episodes in his life and ministry.
Julian the Apostate's Against the Galilaeans is the earliest I can think of that retains its power, while Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals is perhaps the most damning.
This may have influenced the last pagan emperor, Julian (361-363), whose pamphlet Against the Galilaeans has a strong Old Testament focus.
