| Title: The Testimonium. Evidence for Jesus outside the Bible Secondary Title: BiRe Volume: 7 Pages: 20-25, 45 Type: Journal Article Year: 1991 Abstract: "There is little doubt that Josephus' passing reference to Jesus as the brother of James (Ant. 20:200) is authentic. The more extensive description of Jesus' ministry and death (Ant. 18:63-64) after the clear Christian interpolations have been deleted [see § 34-1449], flows smoothly, coheres with Josephus' vocabulary and style, and makes perfect sense in his mouth". - D.J.H.
"In a passing reference and in a longer passage known as the Testimonium, the first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, in his Book Jewish Antiquities, provides extra-biblical evidence for Jesus' existence. The author arrays a host of arguments favoring the authenticity of these passages and also shows why a third Josephus reference to Jesus, in the Slavonic version of The Jewish War, is undoubtedly a Christian interpolation".
