Document Summary

Need antiquities 18 and 20 to be coherent. Probably thought jesus closer to judas the galilean than solomon. Josephus" argument is that deviant judaism caused the war. In second temple judaism, notion of messiah did not have definetness like in rabbnic judaism and christianity (because rj and christianity, conflict over who it was) No tradition in early christianity of jesus claiming to be the messiah or even a messiah. James the brother of jesus called anointed; if davidic anointed person (pretender to the throne) Explains why high priest would want to kill him. In jerusalem; jesus movement led by his brother. Paul was a jew, didn"t like jesus movement. Paul did not think of christianity as new religion, true judaism. Paul thought called to be a "prophet"" to take jesus" message to non jews. "so-called pillars of the church"" paul towards peter-james. "called christ"" is not pejorative, then antiquities 18 probably not hostile towards him.
