Was Jesus as a person recorded in Roman history or secular history ?

Answer 1

Yes.
He's mentioned in Tacitus, including his crucifixion by Pontius Pilatus: 'auctor nominis eius Christus Tibero imperitante per procuratorem Pontium Pilatum supplicio adfectus erat';
"the founder of the sect, Christ, was crucified by Pontius Pilatus while Tiberius was Emperor"
and (probably) in Suetonius.
Dunno how you count Josephus, but he's mentioned there too. The so-called 'testimonium Flavianum' is certainly spurious as it stands, but it probably replaces an unfavourable mention - and there's another mention of him elsewhere in the Antiquities of the Jews, when describing his brother James.

Answer 2

There are only a couple of texts that mention Jesus at all. There are problems with all of them when it comes to saying "Here is a non-Biblical document about Jesus' life."

The first is found in Josephus' "Antiquity of the Jews." The problem is that many scholars view the text that mentions Jesus as a later insertion by Christians. (google Testimonium Flavianum for more information).

Tacitus also mentions Jesus in "The Annals", but just that he was an object of worship by Christians. He does not say that Jesus existed-only that there were people who claimed he existed. Seutonius in his "Lives of the Caesars" mentions a Chrestus. But this isn't a misinterpretation of Christ but is believed to be a real name.

There are other mentions of Christians in the sense that they believed that Jesus was God, but there is no secular evidence that Jesus existed outside of the quote from Josephus which is widely believed to be a Christian addition.

I've added a link that questions the historicity of Jesus.

Answer 3

Xamanator gave you the answer you are looking for; however, I just had to point out that Roman history and secular history are basically the same thing.

Answer 4

Josephus in his Antiquities of the Jews mentions Jesus but it is a possibility the name was transcribed into the text and there was possibly Tacitus who mentions a Chrestus but that seems odd because there were well aware of Greek as well as Latin and I believed he would have known the name of Christ as an historian.

Answer 5

there is no historical record of Jesus outside the bible, except for one sentence in the writings of Josephus, but that is believed, by scholars, to have been added in later translations by a well meaning scribe.

Answer 6

If so, I have never heard or read of it!
