Flavius Josephus Flavius Josephus (often known simply as Josephus), was born in Jerusalem as Joseph ben Matthias ("Joseph, son of Matthias") about 37 A.D., and he died in Rome around 60 years later. His life was at times a curious contradiction - he was Jew and Roman, soldier and writer, priestly and carnal, loyal and opportunistic. Although not part of The Bible , his writings nevertheless provide a great amount of valuable eyewitness information relating to Bible History during the Roman period (see Ancient Empires - Rome Josephus was born into a prominent family, and by his early teens he became associated with the Pharisees, one of the groups who, several years before Josephus was born, had been among the most bitter opponents of Jesus Christ. In 64 A.D. Josephus traveled to Rome as part of a group seeking the release of several Jewish priests who were imprisoned there. Despite his mission, he became impressed with the Roman grandeur and military power of the time (see Roman Legions and Roman Roads ). Later, even though he fought as a military commander with his countrymen against the Romans in the revolt of Judea in 66-70, he became a Roman citizen, and through a combination of luck and skillful slyness managed to become a favorite of the emperor Vespasian (see

Josephus by David Brewer Flavius Josephus was born Joseph ben Matthias in Jerusalem around 37 AD. He joined a sect of the Pharisees, and was selected by the Sanhedrin to govern Galilee. In AD 66, he participated in the Jewish revolt against Roman rule, finally surrendering to Vespasian in 67. He won favor and his freedom from the Romans, changed his name to Flavius, and eventually settled in Rome where he wrote under the patronage of Emperors Titus and Domitian. A scholar in both Hebrew and Greek literature who served as a general, Josephus lived much of what he covers in his writings. His insights make him a very valuable authority for one who is studying NT times. His works include: "Concerning the Jewish War" there are 7 books in this work. Book 1 175 B.C. - 4 B.C. Book 2 4 B.C. to 66 A.D. Book 3 events in Galilee in 66 A.D. Book 4 the events of the War up until the siege of Jerusalem. Book 5 and 6 the fall of Jerusalem. Book 7 the aftermath of the rebellion following the fall of Jerusalem. Even though this "work is not written with the objective accuracy of scientific history, it is credible on the whole, except where it concerns the role played by the author." (The Int'l Standard Bible Encyclopedia, p. 1742). "The Antiquities of the Jews"

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Josephus Josephus , also known as Flavius Josephus (abt. AD - abt. AD ) was a 1st century Jewish historian of priestly family who survived the Destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and settled in Rome. He was originally known as Yosef Ben-Matityahu ( Matthias in Greek). Josephus wrote an account of the war addressed to the Jewish community in Mesopotamia in Aramaic which is now dead. He then wrote a history in Greek covering a broader period - from the Maccabees to the fall of Jerusalem. This book, the Jewish War, appeared by . The majority of the book is based on the events of his own life, including those of his own administrative experience. Jewish Antiquities, (written c. ) composed again for Greek readers, is a history of the Jews from the Creation to the outbreak of the war in the late 60s. At the end of the Antiquities is an autobiographical section in defense of Josephus's own conduct at the end of the war when he cooperated with the Roman forces of Vespasian Josephus's Against Apion is a defense of Judaism against classical religion and philosophy stressing the antiquity of Judaism and its scriptures against what Josephus pointed out was the relatively more recent traditions of the Greeks . Some anti-Seminic allegations by Apion are addressed there as well.

124. Regarding The Quotes From The Historian Josephus About Jesus Regarding the quotes from the historian josephus about Jesus, are they reliable? HOME PAGE. Regarding the quotes from the historian josephus about Jesus. http://www.carm.org/questions/Josephus_Jesus.htm

C HRISTIAN A R ESEARCH M INISTRY www.carm.org HOME PAGE Regarding the quotes from the historian Josephus about Jesus Flavius Josephus was a Jewish priest at the time of the Jewish Revolt of A.D. 66. He was captured by the Romans, imprisoned, set free and then retired to Rome where he wrote a history of the Jewish Revolt called the "Jewish War." Later he wrote "Antiquities" as a history of the Jews. It is in Antiquities that he mentions Christ. The mention is called the Testimonium Flavianum (Ant. 18.63-64; see below). Josephus was born in Jerusalem around 37 A.D. He died around the year 101. The problem with the copies of Antiquities is that they appear to have been rewritten in favor of Jesus as they are very favorable, some say too favorable to have been written by a Jew. Add to this that the Christians were the ones who kept and made the copies of the Josephus documents throughout history and you have a shadow of doubt cast upon the quotes. However, all is not lost. First of all, there is no proof that such insertions into the text were ever made. They may be authentic. The Testimonium is found in every copy of Jesusphus in existence. Second, Josephus mentions many other biblically relevant occurrences that are not in dispute (see outline below). This adds validity to the claim that Josephus knew about Jesus and wrote about Him since he also wrote about other New Testament things. Nevertheless, though there may be some Christian insertions into the text, we can still reconstruct what may have been the original writing.

C HRISTIAN A R ESEARCH M INISTRY www.carm.org HOME PAGE The writings of Josephus mention many biblical people and places Flavius Josephus (37-101 A.D) was a Jewish priest at the time of the Jewish Revolt of A.D. 66. He was captured by the Romans, imprisoned, set free and then retired to Rome where he wrote a history of the Jewish Revolt called the "Jewish War." Later he wrote "Antiquities" as a history of the Jews. Following is a brief listing of some other people and places mentioned by Josephus that correspond to biblical mention. They demonstrate that the Bible is not alone in its description of people, events, and places. It is verified by other sources. Antipas mentioned 17:8:1, " And now Herod altered his testament upon the alteration of his mind; for he appointed Antipas, to whom he had before left the kingdom, to be tetrarch of Galilee and Berea, and granted the kingdom to Archelaus.

126. Nonchristianaccounts The other comes from josephus, a Jewish historian. Flavius josephus (born 37 CE) Antiquities 17.3.3. (8196 CE). josephus was an aristocratic Jewish historian. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/jesus/nonchristianaccounts.html

Non-Christian References to the Trial of Jesus If the only references to the trial of Jesus came from Christian sources, there might be reason to wonder if such a trial ever took placeor indeed, even if Jesus ever existed. Fortunately, there are two important surviving references to the trial of Jesus in non-Christian writings. One comes from Publius Cornelius Tacitus, a Roman historian who was hostile to the Christian movement. The other comes from Josephus, a Jewish historian. Each of these historians confirms three central facts: that there was a leader of a movement called Jesus (or Christ), that Jesus was executed, and that the movement that Jesus was part of survived his death. Tacitus (55-115 C.E.) The Annals, XV: 44 Tacitus was a member of the Roman consular nobility committed to the senatorial ideals of the Roman republic. He detested both Christians and Jews. Tacitus wrote of the fire that consumed much of Rome in 64 C.E. during the reign of Nero and the chaos which followed the fire. Then Tacitus reported that Nero fixed blame for the disaster on Christians: Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace.

James In Josephus Paul Smith The passage attributed to Josephus in our surviving copies of the Antiquities (1957; revised and amended by WHC Frend in 1987). Josephus described Ananus, the High Priest responsible for the death of James in the Antiquities , thus: "...a bold man in his temper, and very insolent." Josephus did not mention the martyrdom of James in his Jewish Wars Antiquities , describing him this time as: "...a venerable, and a very just man; and besides the grandeur of that nobility, and dignity, and honour, of which he possessed, he had been a lover of a kind of parity, even with regard to the meanest of the people; he was a prodigious lover of liberty, and an admirer of democracy in government; and did ever prefer the public welfare before his own advantage, and preferred peace above all things; he was thoroughly sensible that the Romans were not to be conquered." Significantly, Josephus also wrote the following about Ananus in the Jewish Wars "I should not mistake if I said that the death of Ananus was the beginning of the destruction of the city (Jerusalem), and that from this very day may be dated the overthrow of her wall, and the ruin of her affairs, whereon they saw their high priest, and the procurer of their preservation, slain in the midst of their city." Memoirs that the destruction of Jerusalem followed the death of James (preserved in the Ecclesiastical History It would not be unusual for a Christian like Origen to have done something like this – there is for example the "Josephus quotation" given by Eusebius in

When josephus uses official sources it is usually evident. http://www.askwhy.co.uk/awmob/awpaul/chr210MANCensoringJosephus.html

The Mystery of Jesus Pages Manipulating the Good News Contents Updated: Saturday, April 24, 1999 Christian Censorship in Josephus Flavius Josephus was the Roman name of Joseph ben Matthias. Josephus during the second half of the first century AD, produced two long and detailed histories of the Jews and the events leading to the Roman victory in the Jewish Wars, History of the Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews , but has almost nothing to say about Jesus and even that is probably added by Christians to fill a prominant gap left by the censors. Josephus was born in Jerusalem only a few years after the crucifixion. He shows an interest in the Jewish religious groups of the time. He tells us about the Jewish religious parties, about John the Baptist who Christians say was the herald of the Messiah and about Jesus's brother, James, whose death he says was a reason for the start of the War in 66 AD. But he tells us nothing about the crucifixion or how it occurred. A man almost contemporaneous with Jesus and whose reputation was built on detailed histories of the Jewish people fails to mention him except in two brief passages, if they are genuine. The precocious Josephus had studied all the Jewish religious sects before the age of 19 when he decided to become a Pharisee. He became a clerk to the Sanhedrin and at 26 went as an envoy to Rome to plead for some priests sent to Nero by Procurator Felix for trial. With the help of Poppaea, the Empress, who was possibly a Jewish proselyte or at least a godfearer, he succeeded. He was thus in Rome at much the same time as Paul, the Apostle to the gentiles.

Annex 2 - Agrippa’s Speech at Jerusalem at War’s Commencement Tables Table 1 – Literary Works Table 2 - Legions ... Select Bibliography 1. Introduction The purpose of this talk is to outline some of the context that is important if we are to understand the first Jewish rebellion against Rome (67-73 CE) and its causes. That rebellion put an end to the Second Temple, Torah cum Temple , Judaism that had developed in the wake of the Deuteronomic Reform, Babylonian Exile and Return and the finalization and acceptance of the Torah as The basis for Judaism. During the First Temple period (c 950-587 BCE) Judah had been a state with a national religion, during the latter part of the Second Temple period (c. 175 BCE-70 CE) it had been an unhappy hybrid of a splintering religion with a state to fight over. After 70 CE the way was open for the development of Rabbinic Judaism first as an element within the Jewish spectrum and, ultimately, as normative Judaism.

Of his two chief works one is, the Ιουδαικη Αρχαιολογια, a comprehensive delineation of the entire Jewish history from the beginning to his own times. It is the most extensive work on Jewish history in the Greek language with which we are acquainted, and has on that account so retained the lasting favour of Jewish, heathen and Christian readers, as to have been preserved entire in numerous manuscripts. . . . Notwithstanding its great difference from the philosophizing delineation of Philo, its tendency is similar. For it is the purpose of Josephus, not only to instruct his heathen readers, for whom it was in the first instance intended, in the history of his people, but also to inspire them with respect for the Jewish nation, both as having a history of hoary antiquity, and a long series of celebrities both in peace and war to point to, and as able to bear comparison in respect of laws and institutions with any nation (comp. especially

Did Josephus mention Jesus Christ? A rough work in progress by PTET - Early Christian Writings PTET Homepage E-mail PTET Introduction ... References Introduction Two passages in the extant works of the Jewish first century historian Josephus Flavius mention Jesus Christ, and are probably the best available evidence for his existense. These are in passages 18.3.3 and 20.9 of his Antiquities Of The Jews . This page examines whether and to what extent we can trust these passages to be genuine. top Origen, Josephus and Jesus The works of Origen (c. 182-251 CE) which have down to us mention Josephus referencing Jesus Christ twice. It is worth quoting both passages in full: "Flavius Josephus, who wrote the "Antiquities of the Jews" in twenty books, when wishing to exhibit the cause why the people suffered so great misfortunes that even the temple was razed to the ground, said, that these things happened to them in accordance with the wrath of God in consequence of the things which they had dared to do against James the brother of Jesus who is called Christ . And the wonderful thing is, that, though he did not accept Jesus as Christ, he yet gave testimony that the righteousness of James was so great; and he says that the people thought that they had suffered these things because of James." (On The Gospel Of Matthew, 1:15)

Josephus' Problem Algorithm description This algorithm is named for a historian of the first century, Flavius Josephus, who survived the Jewish-Roman war due to his mathematical talents. Legend has it that he was one out of 41 Jewish rebels trapped by the Romans. His companions preferred suicide to escape, so they decided to form a cycle and to kill every third person and to proceed around the circle until no one was left. Josephus wasn't excited by the idea of killing himself, so he calculated where he has to stand to survive the vicious circle. The following implementation demands the input of how many people will stand around a circle and how many shall be passed over before the next one is killed. Algorithm implementation: function josephus (N: positive; m: positive) return positive is x : positive; a : double; begin a := double(m); discrete d := 1 in 1..((m-1)*N) new d := ceiling((a/(a-1.0))*double(d)) loop d := ceiling((a/(a-1.0))*double(d)); x := d; end loop return m*N+1-x;

Excerpts from "THE CHRIST" By John E. Remsberg. Josephus Late in the first century Josephus wrote his celebrated work, The Antiquities of the Jews, giving a history of his race from the earliest ages down to his own time. Modern versions of this work contain the following passage: "Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works; a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day" (Book XVIII, Chap. iii, sec. 3). For nearly sixteen hundred years Christians have been citing this passage as a testimonial, not merely to the historical existence, but to the divine character of Jesus Christ. And yet a ranker forgery was never penned. Its brevity disproves its authenticity. Josephus' work is voluminous and exhaustive. It comprises twenty books. Whole pages are devoted to petty robbers and obscure seditious leaders. Nearly forty chapters are devoted to the life of a single king. Yet this remarkable being, the greatest product of his race, a being of whom the prophets foretold ten thousand wonderful things, a being greater than any earthly king, is dismissed with a dozen lines.
