In which book and page does Ehrman say Tacitus' remark about the Christians is solid support for Jesus' existence?
I promise I will not ignore you, but before I give you the answer, I have a question for you.
Are you asking because you don't believe that Ehrman views Tacitus' remarks as corroboration of the existence of the historical Jesus?
From what I remember reading from him, he never saw it as strong evidence for Jesus' existence. He did mention it, however, as a nonChristian source that mentioned Jesus from those days. But I recall him saying something along the lines of it's not that good as evidence.
