In my 20s, I read Josephus’ “Antiquities of the Jews“. Today, I saw Dr. T.C. Schmidt, Fairfield University professor, on the News interviewed about his conclusion to his 10-year analysis dissecting this book’s text and comparing it to other known writings by this ancient historian..
For years, many people believed the book we know today was a “scratched up” version altered by Christians to be more favorable to them. This professor took on the assignment thinking he’d prove them right.
Dr. Schmidt has published his findings that Josephus’ “Antiquities of the Jews” is, by every metric, consistent with Josephus’ other writings.
Huh! Who would’ve thunk it! 😁
