Today we are going to talk about whether or not Pliny the Younger is independent evidence that Jesus actually existed. We will look at who Pliny waswhat he said, and why he doesn’t actually count as historical evidence for a Jesus Christ.
Pliny the Younger is another example of a historical figure mentioning Christians or what Christians believed and not attesting to an actual person called Jesus. Pliny lived between 62 CE – 113 CE. In 111 or 112 he wrote to Trajan about the trials of Christians. He describes how the trials are performed. He would ask them 3 times whether they were a Christian. If they confessed each time, they were killed. He talks about what the Christians believed as well.
