[QUOTE="jayem, post: 75918975, member: 8344"] The scholarly name for the Josephus passage is the Testimonium Flavianum. (His Roman name is Flavius Josephus.) As I said, not all of it is usually suspect. Mostly the part about miracles and the resurrection. Here’s the Wikipedia discussion as a start: [URL="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus"]Josephus on Jesus - Wikipedia[/URL] An article with comments pro and con by Richard Carrier. Who is an atheist. But the man knows the Bible: [URL="https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/7437"]The Josephus Testimonium: Let's Just Admit It's Fake Already • Richard Carrier[/URL] And here’s an article that questions the entire passage based on linguistic analysis: [URL="https://www.academia.edu/10463098/Josephus_s_Testimonium_Flavianum_Examined_Linguistically_Greek_Analysis_Demonstrates_the_Passage_a_Forgery_In_Toto"]Josephus’s Testimonium Flavianum Examined Linguistically: Greek Analysis Demonstrates the Passage a Forgery In Toto[/URL] You can certainly find articles accepting that it’s authentic. But to my knowledge, the majority opinion is that the mention of the miracles and resurrection is a later addition, and was not written by Josephus. [/QUOTE]
