"Actually that would have been a good idea. I would have liked to have their dates, their locations and the subjects that they wrote on." No reason you can't do that. You could read their books, too. But don't expect others to know your particular agenda. "Why would anyone insert such a passing reference when they could have inserted something more detailed and persuasive?" Because the more that is inserted the less persuasive and more suspicious the interpolation becomes. Scholars have been able to identify interpolations with a word or two. Give them more than a paragraph and you are nailed but good! "Remsberg's conspiracy theory seems ridiculous to any thinking person" I don't recall reading about any conspiracy theory from Remsberg. "Why would any early Christian writers find it necessary to cite such a reference to prove that which was not in dispute,(namely that Christ was a real person)?" The interpolation came later than the author as all interpolations do. It is an attempt to give historical plausibility to a belief and a movement which is not otherwise evidenced. "The list becomes meaningless when looked at in context, but of course, posting it unqualified and out of context was the only way to make it seem as though something of substance was actually being said." It was YOU who posted Tacitus as saying something of substance vis-a-vis Jesus! Tough luck, then!! But in truth, Tacitus was a prolific writer, and very sound and trustworthy. He wrote the entire history of Rome from Augustus Caesar to Nero. This includes the reign of Tiberius, of course. He didn't write about Jesus (even though he wrote about the Germans) because there were no significant historical events associated with any person named "Jesus".
