Audience Q: Why doesn't anyone reference Tacitus on Christian persecution until the 4th century? — Multiple 1st-century sources confirm early persecution of Christians
Audience question from "Godless Engineer" about Christian persecution attestation
Licona responds that multiple first-century sources attest to Christian persecution: (1) Hebrews describes property seizure and imprisonment; (2) Tacitus mentions persecution under Nero; (3) 1 Clement (c. 92–95 AD, possibly late 60s) mentions martyrdoms of Peter and Paul; (4) Acts documents persecution by Jewish leadership.
