“If you listen to the lecture, you will learn of the connection with Josephus and the main source of ‘tekton’ work during Joseph’s lifetime.”

OK, and if you read this, you might have doubts about whether Josephus ever actually mentions Jesus Christ:

I read the humanist paper + it says nothing new. Basically tries to rubbish all first century references to Christ with generalisations + ignores figures like Justin Martyr. Speaking of whom it is odd how so many people so close to the event were prepared to die for this ‘mythological’ idea...
My comment on Josephus was not the two (obviously disputed, why wouldn’t they be) references to Christ, but rather the references to Herod the Great - or is he another myth?
Try reading ‘Evidence that demands a verdict’, or ‘More than a carpenter’, by J McDowell.
Thanks for the debate.
