Soldier and historian Flavius Josephus


Flavius Josephus (37-117 A.D. -- born the day Paul became a Christian) is often mentioned as a source who authenticates the actual being of Jesus. Scholars argue about that.  The reprinted article which follows the Bible Lens this week (see Christian Science Sentinel September 23-29, 2019) offers a beautiful record on one person's inspiration in this regard (Chet Manchester – Peace in a shared homeland – originally printed January 21 2002, Christian Science Sentinel)

Mary Alice Rose's January 2015 Christian Science Journal article, adapted from a JSH-Online Journal podcast series, gives an updated Josephus' story*.
