Re: The "centurion's servant" in "Capernaum" was Josephus: Jesus ben Sapphat healed him at a safe distance
It seems that Josephus is describing an event dating back to the period when he was on the side of the rebels (hence: at least officially, with Jesus ben Sapphat). Therefore the idea that Jesus ben Sapphat was the Jesus who had sent physicians to heal him on his request becomes even more plausible: ...

Re: The "centurion's servant" in "Capernaum" was Josephus: Jesus ben Sapphat healed him at a safe distance
There are two clues to an apology to explain why Jesus (ben Sapphat) couldn't go directly to visit the slave of the centurion: the reader is reassured about the centurion being a good guy: "This man deserves to have you do this, because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue." ......

The "centurion's servant" in "Capernaum" was Josephus: Jesus ben Sapphat healed him at a safe distance
When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum . There a centurion's servant , whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. Whe...

Re: John the Baptist, redivivus of a 2015 article
Given this original account in Josephus (following the Greg's hypothesis), not only the victim of Ananus survives, but he was made high priest in the place of Ananus : And now Caesar, upon hearing the death of Festus, sent Albinus into Judea, as procurator. But the king deprived Joseph of the high p...

Re: Josephus again
There was no Christians. It was a fresh idea to find human incarnation of the God as a mere man. Not king but mere man.απλός άνθρωπος. Resuming: the need of finding a human incarnation of the God (a Messiah?) moved some writers of a sect/school of the Diaspora to find a good stunt double in Ant., j...

Re: Josephus again
Before the finding of a such man in Ant., what did the Christians believe that Jesus was?

I assume that John Van Maaren has read these books before that he has published this article.

Re: Is *Ev more paulinist than Mark?
A Paulinist is an evangelist who bases a lot of midrash on Paul.
In addition to share with Paul the same form in U of the Christ's voyage: descent, death, ascent.

Re: Josephus again
You are eluding the question. I can concede willingly that an original TF talked about an unnamed rebel crucified by Pilate. But what is the true origin of Christianity for you, if you don't see a relation of cause-effect between that rebel and the early Christian sect behind the epistles and the fi...

Re: John the Baptist, redivivus of a 2015 article
Not essential to the proposal, but Jesus “Damnaeus” could be a doublet or variant tradition of the same 62 CE Jesus, though that identity not recognized by Josephus or his writing staff composing Antiquities, where doublets abound of actually identical referents. That is, the text of Ant in its com...
