So Jesus seems like a Fourth Philosopher to me, perhaps a unique one, but I imagine the same could have been said about others ("The world's gonna end, man, and here's my plan!").

And I think all Fourth Philosophers could be called "Christians" in a broad sense, since Josephus says their number one inspiration was that "one from their country should become governor of the habitable earth." What could sum up Christianity better than that?
