Pliny the Younger on Christians
Pliny the Younger was governor of Bithynia from AD 110–113 and wrote to the emperor Trajan regarding the burgeoning Christian religion which was rapidly spreading. Pliny’s letter and Trajan’s response not only provide one of the earliest secular references to Christianity, but demonstrate that the faith was both mature and widespread by the late 1st century and early 2nd century, mere years after John’s Revelation.
