Josephus and Jesus
Ratings1
Average rating4
This volume (OUP, 2025) finds that the 1st Century document The Testimony of Flavius was likely authored by the period’s most reliable historian, Josephus. Based on textual criticism, Josephus likely drew on the first-hand knowledge of people who participated in Jesus’ trial and the “first men” who participated in his crucifixion. In this document, Josephus upholds the scaffolding of the New Testament witness and disproves theories that the resurrection was bolted on much later beyond the apostolic witness. It finds a Jesus of history aligned with the Christ of early faith.
