Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, and Josephus Skits

7th Grade has been studying Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, and Josephus, early non-Christian historians, and contemporaries of the Apostles, who wrote about Jesus. These historians serve the purpose of verifying Our Lord's historical standing outside of a religious context. The kids did skits potraying the subjects of their writings.

The skits were inspired:

Here's the Pliny the Younger group (with Brooke as Jesus)



Here we have the Josephus group, starring David as the Emperor of Rome.




And last (but certainly not least), we have the Tacitus skit, with Aubrey Renz giving an inspired performance in the title role
