I will say that the existence of Tiberius is of no interest to me and totally irrelevant, anyway. Isn't it obvious that establishing whether there was a historical Tiberius is unimportant next to the question of Jesus'?</i><br /><br />Well, no, it is not obvious. Especially not since you play the "is it that important" game, when I am challenging your duplicity of standards.<br /><br />Velleius Paterculus is one contemporary writer who is enough for you for Tiberius. For Jesus the contemporaries are - just to mention writers - St Matthew (who was as educated more or less as Josephus), St John, Shaul from Tarshish witnessed a stoning soon after Pentecost before seeing the Resurrected himself, that is already three contemporaries, and NT list of authors is not over yet.<br /><br />If you claim two of my three were partisan, well, so was Velleius Paterculus.Hans Georg Lundahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055583255516264955noreply@blogger.com
