In the sixteenth century the authenticity of this passage was challenged by scholars, launching a controversy that has still not been resolved. \u003ci\u003eJosephus on Jesus: The Testimonium Flavianum Controversy from Late Antiquity to Modern Times\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038625857879,"sku":"9780820452418","price":61.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780820452418.jpg?v=1750940863","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/josephus-on-jesus-9780820452418","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
