Bible Review opens the realm of Biblical scholarship to a non-academic audience. World-renown scholars detail the latest in Biblical interpretation and why it matters. These important pieces are paired with stunning art, which makes the text come to life before your eyes. Anyone interested in the Bible should read this seminal magazine.
In extant manuscripts of the first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, three passages contain references to Jesus. Two are in his history entitled Jewish Antiquities. One is a passing reference to Jesus that almost all scholars regard as authentic. The second, a longer passage known as the Testimonium Flavianum, is the focus of the accompanying article.
Over the years, when editors and journalists have asked me to write about the historical Jesus, almost invariably the first question they raise is: Can you really prove he existed? The implication is that the biblical evidence for Jesus is biased because it is encased in a theological text written by committed believers.
