| Title: Jesus as a Political Agent in a Version of the Josippon Secondary Title: Jesus and the Politics of His Day Pages: 197-209 Type: Book Section Year: 1988 Abstract: "A polemical, anti-Christian section of the Josippon reports about an encounter between Jesus and Caesar. Pretending to be a messenger of God, Jesus hails Caesar as God on earth, and advises him to erect altars to himself. Jesus appears as a political activist whose whole ambition is geared to actions detrimental to the Jewish nations." Keywords: Reception of Josephus: Antiquity, Middle Ages, Early Modern Period |
