| Sumario: | It is strange, though, that a consideration of the working presuppositions of Josephus is lacking ( I à la i Harold Attridge, for example), and the best Josephan account of Jesus, uncovered from the Arabic version by the Jewish scholar Shlomo Pines (1971), more reserved not tampered with like the Greek text, was surely worth probing. We get a detailed account of Galilee at the time, and Nazareth in particular, the family of Jesus, and then the genealogical associations and epithets put upon Jesus in Jewish terms. Hengel and Schwemer offer convincing rebuttals to old critics of the Gospel traditions (David Strauss, Robert Eisler, etc.) while explaining which studies have weathered the test of time.
