Historical figure ?

Josephus was a priest, a soldier, and a scholar. He is famous for being the most credible secular historian to record the existence of Jesus Christ outside of the New Testament.

I've found this visiting: http://reluctant-messenger.com/josephus.htm

I have not read this article yet, but I thought some of you might find it interesting.

You guys really got me surfing on the internet ! 🙂

"Yet there is even reason to doubt the historicity of the central figure of the Christian religion, since Jesus Christ is not referred to by any of the writers that chronicled the times in which he was supposed to have lived."

I found this one on one of the Freethinker sites.

Just as a bit of information Josephus was born in 35 CE and his antiquities were not complete until about 78 CE or so.

The Nimzo-position was spectacular, but the centre strategy concentration test really blew me out of my chair. 😵
