ISBN10: 0820452416, ISBN13: 9780820452418, [publisher: Peter Lang Publishing Inc] Hardcover Hardcover. The Testimonium Flavianum, a brief passage in Jewish Antiquities by Flavius Josephus (37 - ca. 100 AD), is widely considered the only extant evidence besides the Bible of the historicity of Jesus Christ. In the sixteenth century the authenticity of this passage was challenged by scholars, launching a controversy that has still not been resolved. Josephus on Jesus: The Testimonium Flavianum Controversy from Late Antiquity to Modern Times is a history of this passage and the long-standing debate over its authenticity. Because it may be the most quoted ancient text next to the Bible, this book not only illuminates the history of the Testimonium Flavianum through the ages, but also the general development of historical criticism in the Western World. A historian specializing in philological research on the provenance of late antique texts, Whealey traces the reception of a brief passage from the 18th book of Jewish Antiquities by the first-century, Greek-language historian Flavius Josephus.
