As with Herodotus, one has to have Josephus to gain insight into the state of civilization and its passage to the modern age. Thanks for pointing out this portion of his works. It shows objective evidence of Jesus' life outside the 'Holy Bible'. There are some questions of his work I won't go into now. Another incident you will want to read concerns the siege of Jews that occured at that time. He speaks of a mother sitting and eating her own baby, unable to feed it, and offering a portion to another. It is a moving incident that goes to one's soul to resolve, and leaves one a different person. Yes, Josephus is quite a read, and again I thank you for bringing attention to him in this way.
