For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
Quote:Eusebius did write a Martyrology which is included as an appendix in his history but it has nothing to do with Nero and the fire of Rome.

But the whole point here is that Tacitus either says...or is made to say...that in 64 AD...less than 30 years after the supposed crucifixion of the godboy, we are supposed to believe that there are "multitudes" of xtians in Rome. But NO first century Roman writers bother to mention this fact? Sorry. Don't buy it.

We know from Pliny's correspondence that he ran across a group which called itself xtians in Asia Minor c 110 AD. From what he describes they sure as shit do not sound like the later proto-orthodox gang which grew into the child-molesting, money-hungry perverts we have today.
