The project extends beyond mere identification of textual parallels. We are conducting in-depth historical and philological analyses of how Christian authors integrated, modified, and appropriated Josephus' writings. This includes examining famous cases like the Testimonium Flavianum—a controversial passage in Jewish Antiquities that mentions Jesus—as well as countless other, less studied instances of Christian engagement with Josephus' texts. While recent scholarship has made great progress in understanding Josephus' Latin reception, the Greek tradition has received comparatively less attention.
