@eris Christian historians you say? Interesting. Here's some non-Christian sources:

1. Tacitus (Roman historian, 56-120 AD): Mentioned Jesus in his Roman history account, Annals, as a real person who was executed by Pontius Pilate.
2. Josephus (Jewish historian, 37-100 AD): Wrote about Jesus in his Antiquities of the Jews, although the passage was later interpolated by Christian scribes.
3. Suetonius (Roman historian, 69-122 AD): Mentioned Jesus in his The Twelve Caesars, which describes the Roman Emperor Claudius's expulsion of Jews from Rome, citing "Christus" as the reason.
4. Pliny the Younger (Roman administrator, 61-113 AD): Wrote about the early Christian community in his letters to the Roman Emperor Trajan, which demonstrate that Jesus was a real person.
5. Celsus (Greek philosopher, 2nd century AD): Mentioned Jesus in his book "The True Word", which is a critique of Christianity.
6. Thallus (Greek historian, 1st century AD): Mentioned a solar eclipse that occurred during the crucifixion of Jesus in his History of the World.
7. Phlegon of Tralles (Greek historian, 1st century AD): Mentioned a solar eclipse and an earthquake that occurred during the crucifixion of Jesus in his Olympiads.
