It isn’t shocking that Christian texts are our primary source about Christian origins. After all, baseball fans tend to write about baseball history. American history buffs tend to write about American history.

But what does come as a surprise is that we can learn a fair bit about Jesus from early, non-Christian sources. One is the Roman historian Tacitus. But not everyone agrees that Tacitus wrote about Jesus or gives us any historical information about Jesus. A group of fringe scholars known as the Jesus mythicists raises four main objections to the reliability of Tacitus. In this video, I go over four mythicist objections to Tacitus and show that they don't really work.
