Josephus and Jesus Christ

Insights into Josephus and the knowledge of Jesus from the First Century

On Thoughts on Antiquity, the writer has put together a useful survey of the information known about Josephus' reference to Jesus Christ. Known technically as The Testimonium Flavianum, it represents what is attributed to Josephus, and what can be deduced as Josephus's original comments. Full details of the material together with an interface to compare different documents relating to the statement from Josephus are given on this website.

Our thanks to the author for the considerable work he has undertaken to put this material together in the public domain.
