Abstract: "This consideration of Josephus' views about the messiah treats messianic currents in the 1st century, the messianic pretenders described in Josephus' writings. Josephus as a historian and writer, his attitude toward apocalypticism, and the relation between the messiah and the Shekinah. Josephus carefully avoided positive statements about a messiah and the expectation of a messianic kingdom. The Testimonium Flavianum about Jesus in Ant. 18:63-64 is a later, Christian adaptation of an originally incidental observation". - D.J.H.
