For me, the whole TF thing is legit because I finally read Josephus myself and I know what author I’m dealing with. Jesus is a romantic hero like a highwayman from folk tales. He was crucified, but there were those who loved him and called him Christ. The same with other Sign Prophets that Josephus writes about – they are bandits but they dared to take up some anti-system challenge. You really don’t need much. Someone read this story publicly. A listener asked, “Tell us more about this Jesus.” The narrator replied, “I don’t know anything else.” “Then find out more,” the audience replied. This is how it is in this business of creators creating for fame and applause.
Josephus is similar to Henryk Sienkiewicz and Heinrich Graetz. They both wrote pseudo-historical books to comfort hearts. Critics hated them for their harmful lies and audiences loved them.
