Brent D. Shaw, The Myth of the Neronian Persecution, is cited when calling the setion in Annals authentic, when in reality he wrote "There is no objective contemporary evidence that would definitely indicate an attack on Christians by Nero, either in connection with the Great Fire or otherwise.". Richard Carrier is cited to lead the reader to believe that he also affirms the authenticity, when actually Carrier says " It is here argued that their arguments can be met with no strong rebuttal, and therefore the key sentence in Tacitus referring to Christ should be considered suspect."
Atanar Where is that? The only reference to him that I see is under Neronian persecution saying: Brent D. Shaw has argued against the historicity of the Tacitean account of the Neronian persecution of Christians. Jenhawk777 (talk) 05:08, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Jenhawk777: I have corrected the error and eliminated references to Carrier (he is WP:FRINGE). Brent Shaw does not argue against the authenticity of the text, but states that Tacitus is historically unreliable. This argument has not won acceptance among scholars, AFAIK.--Karma1998 (talk) 21:49, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
In the section Persecution from AD 49 to 250, there are references to Ed RICHARDSON: "Ed Richardson explains..." The book cited lists 2 editors, Karl P. Donfried & Peter Richardson. SedesGobhani (talk) 15:04, 13 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
