THE PROBLEM WITH THE HISTORICITY OF JESUS

For being considered the most influential person in all of history, it is
strange that of the 29 first century historians who existed at the time of
Jesus, none of them mention Jesus at all...

   1. Philo Judaeus
   2. Apollonius of Tyana
   3. Valerius Maximus
   4. Marcus Manilius
   5. Velleius Paterculus
   6. Quintus Curtius Rufus
   7. Pomponius Mela
   8. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
   9. Petronius Arbiter
  10. C. Musonius Rufus
  11. Aulus Persius Flaccus
  12. Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
  13. Hero(n) of Alexandria
  14. Geminus
  15. Lucius Junius Moderatus Columella
  16. Cleomedes
  17. Phaedrus
  18. Dioscorides
  19. Plutarch of Chaeronea
  20. Justus of Tiberias
  21. Pliny the Elder (Gaius Plinius Secundus)
  22. Dio Chrysostom (Cocceianus Dio)
  23. Marcus Fabius Quintilianus
  24. Publius Papinius
  25. Dio of Prusa
  26. Silius Italicus
  27. ***tus Julius Frontinus
  28. Marcus Valerius Martialus
  29. Hierocles of Alexandria

The very first historian to supposedly mention Jesus at all was Josephus
Flavianus, but if you read Josephus for yourself, you will find that he
doesn't
talk about Jesus at all -- just when you think he is going to talk about
"Christus", he only talks about his brother and ignores "Christus". That
hardly
counts as much of a influence on history. The only influence came from the
Popes, not Jesus.
