Alright then, I was wrong to suggest that source without knowing much about it. Feel free to feel smug. I actualy do like being corrected when I'm wrong. Not that I enjoy it :-(
Actually finding out you are argued against by people who wonder how Roosevelt could have gotten up San Jaun Hill in that wheelchair us disheartening rather than smuggening.
LOL! As if anyone here expected you to suggest a source WITH knowing much about it. Your mea culpa rings as hollow as your faith.
I think you've basically realized your error, but just to make it totally clear, Josephus was born in 37 AD - about five years after the Crucifixion. His fame derives from his chronicles of the Jewish Rebellion and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
The earliest reliable independent reference to Jesus Christ was in Tacitus' history of Nero, written about 105 AD. It was in the section where Tacitus discusses Nero's persecution of the "followers of Chrestus" a half century before the time when Tacitus wrote the Histories.
