involved. Early Jewish writers such as Jospheseus even mentioned the
life of Christ, as well as his crucifixion.
The references to Jesus in Josephus are almost certainly a later,
spurious addition, by a Christian, not a Jew; they break the flow of
the text, and are written from a Christian, not Jewish viewpoint.
Scholars do not agree. For example:
josephus.yorku.ca/pdf/whealey2000.pdf
The shorter passage is universally seen as authentic; the longer as
damaged, but genuine (with substantial minorities disagreeing on
damage, and authenticity).
One of the problems with the argument given above is that the author of
it, whoever he was, hadn't read the 'flow of the text', or he would
have seen the juicy story about the priests of Anubis which is next.
There are no contemporary references to Jesus,
New Testament. Pagan references to him are about the same date as most
of our information about contemporary figures.
and no historical record of such Gospel events as the Slaughter of the Innocents that
would surely have caught the attention of even secular historians.
Argument from silence.
Quite simply, this is bollocks.
A good summary of your source, I'm afraid.
All the best,
