Based on the author's writing associated with Jospehus he was. he does not identify himself in any way as a Christian.
I'm referring to the work of Steve Mason on Josephus.
he does not identify himself in any way as a Christian.
No, I didn't mean to infer that he did. Others have speculated, based on what he includes and excludes of Christianity that he was an Ebonite Christian. I don't endorse that view; I only use it to illustrate a wide range of views on Josephus's actual belief. He was, putting it mildly, often opportunistic and prone to please the powers he served. So we have the problem of his credibility. We can't take his histories as the gospel truth (pun intended).
