166. Jesus Proof?
Notas del episodio
The first-century historian Flavius Josephus is the oldest source we have for the historical Jesus outside of the Bible.
His 90-word paragraph about Jesus - where he calls Jesus “the Christ”, and says Jesus “appeared to them [the disciples] alive again on the third day", spending a third day restored to life - has sparked centuries of debate.
Most experts think this paragraph has an authentic core, but has been embellished by a later Christian scribe.
But new scholarly evidence has emerged that might turn our understanding of Josephus - and what he wrote about Jesus - on its head.
