This second century passage found in Tacitus' famous Annals bolsters the early Christian tradition that Jesus was put to death by Pilate and it confirms that Christianity had spread to Rome and had attracted imperial attention by the sixth decade of the first century.
It is easier to trace the rise and spread of Christianity, than to address the origins of Christianity. The origins of Christianity are explained in the Bible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], specifically the New Testament, but critics and skeptics are generally averse to the Bible. More on this later. However, non-biblical sources provide enough information to establish the general time-frame and scope of the rise of Christianity.
Suetonius, in fact, had the Christians in Rome even earlier than Nero's time. He explained that the Jews in Rome were "making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus" and were therefore expelled from the city. (Life of Claudius 25.4). This event, which took place in A.D. 49, is likely the same event described in Acts 18:2.

The Writing of the New Testament
Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus (c. A.D. 55-120) wrote that the Emperor Nero, in order to evade charges that he destroyed Rome, "falsely charged with the guilt, and punished with the most exquisite tortures, the persons commonly called Christians, who were hated for their enormities." Tacitus went on to explain that "Christus" was their "founder" and was "put to death by Pontius Pilate." (Annals XV. 44)
What does an academic, scholarly analysis of the New Testament provide? The answer is quite a lot -- too much for this article. However, one of the more significant facts established by the New Testament (the part of the Bible most in focus here) is the time frame for Christianity's expansion.
Other non-biblical references to Jesus and/or his followers include letters and documents written by Lucian, a Greek satirist; Pliny the Younger,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor; Mara Bar-Serapion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Syrian philosopher; Josephus, the Jewish historian; and the Jewish Talmud. These sources all confirm the rise and spread of Christianity in the first century.
The writings of the New Testament contain portions of early creeds recited by first century Christians. Many of these creeds, such as the one found in I Corinthians 15, have been dated to the third or fourth decades of the first century.
The Roman historian Suetonius also wrote of Nero's punishment of the Christians, whom he described as a "class of men given to a new and mischievous superstition." (Lives of the Caesars, 26.2)
The New Testament books themselves were written in the first century (though a few scholars put a small number of the New Testament writings into the early second century). Renowned biblical archaeologist William Foxwell Albright declares: "We can already sa
What was responsible for the beginning of Christianity? What event(s) and/or what people started Christianity? Answering this question requires a careful review of the first century - the century that everyone agrees was the beginning of the Christian religion.
The Rise of Christianity
Many refuse to grant the writings of the Bible the same level of respect given to other documents of antiquity. To these critics, if it's in the Bible, it's automatically suspect. Such a dismissal is academically invalid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since the writings of the Bible are at least writings collected and contained in an ancient religious book. Accordingly, they warrant the same scholarly standards of evaluation and analysis as any other ancient document.
