Re: Schmidt on the Testimonium Flavianum

(I mean the impossibility by a non-Christian Jew of calling Jesus "the so-called Christ" ) The TF does not say "the so-called Christ," so the effort has failed. The TF says: "he was the Christ". A negative reading would allow for that mean implicitly: "he was the ...
