[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 86663, member: 353"] While it’s true that Romans employed propaganda to shape their historical narratives, it’s a stretch to suggest that Tacitus’s account of Jesus falls into this category. Tacitus was a respected historian known for his accuracy and impartiality, and his mention of Jesus and the early Christians in the context of Nero’s persecution aligns with other historical accounts and archaeological evidence. Additionally, Tacitus’s primary aim was not to create propaganda but to record historical events as accurately as possible. Tacitus’s account aligns with the biblical account, an account of which he would never had read. It’s also worth noting that the Jews who despised Christ don’t even deny Him in their Talmud. Here’s another Tacitus quote: [I]"But not all the relief that could come from man, not all the bounties that the prince could bestow nor all the atonements which could be presented to the gods, availed to relieve Nero from the infamy of being believed to have ordered the conflagration, the fire of Rome. Hence to suppress the rumor, he falsely charged with the guilt, and punished with most exquisite tortures, the persons commonly called Christians, who were hated for their enormities. Christus, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius: but the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time, broke out again, not only through Judea, where the mischief originated, but through the city of Rome also."[/I] Do we discount all of Tacitus’s work or just the bits that mention Jesus?
