What is the information that historians use to show that something is TRUE?
A variety of sources referring to the same event. If the source is antipathetic to the subject, that is a good indicator of its truth. For example, Josephus is not impressed by Jesus, which is an indication that the historical Jesus existed.

What do first century sources reveal about the life of Jesus?
First century sources, such as the Gospels in the New Testament and writings by historians like Josephus and Tacitus, provide insights into the life of Jesus. These sources reveal that Jesus was a Jewish preacher who performed miracles, taught about love and forgiveness, and was crucified by the Roman authorities. His followers believed he was the Son of God and that he rose from the dead, sparking the growth of Christianity.
What did the Jewish historian Josephus think of Jesus?
The Jewish historian Josephus wrote a history called Antiquities of the Jews, which includes a passage called the Testamonium Flavianum, which is believed to be authentic, although probably altered in the following centuries by pious Christians. One of the surviving versions of the Testamonium Flavianum says:About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.To what extent this reflects Josephus' original writing, it should be remembered that Josephus remained a pious Jew, who could scarcely have written this version of the Testamonium Flavianum as it now stands. The most we can probably say is that he was not antagonistic to the Christians and that he probably viewed Jesus to have been a man worthy of respect.
What were the sources josephus used when he was writing about Jesus?
Look at the writings attributed to Josephus. Doesn't it seem odd that he declares Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, and yet seems so calm about the whole thing? In all of his writings, Jesus, the Messiah, gets only a paragraph? Doesn't make sense. This is obviously not the answer your teacher wants, but the reality is, according to every modern scholar, that Josephus wrote nothing at all about Jesus. The part that is attributed to Josephus is a clumsy forgery, probably inserted hundreds of years after Josephus' death.

Why is Josephus important for proving that Jesus existed?
AnswerUnfortunately, Josephus does not prove that Jesus existed, but he does say (Antiquities Book XVIII) that he knew of Christians who believed he had once existed and who in his own day continued to worship Jesus. If the existence of Jesus as a historical person is ever to be established, this passage will at least assist in that direction.

Why is Josephus important for proving that Jesus actually existed?
Josephus does not actually prove that Jesus existed, but he is the only non-Christian first-century author who clearly accepts the word of Christians that Jesus existed. Philo of Alexandria, supposedly a near-contemporary of Jesus, never mentions him although Philo mentions every other Jewish movement of which he was aware.The Jews and pagans were disinterested in the works of Josephus, and they were only saved because of the value placed on them by early Christians.

Did Josephus write Iliad and the O dyssey?
It is said that Josephus was as cunning of a writer as Homer who wrote about Athene and Odysseus in the Odyssey, he wrote history in his version as he went along just like Homer. You can find the quote in a 1964 book on the World of Josephus on the first page of Chapter 10.
Why could Jesus question the pharisees at age 12?
-----------------------Luke's Gospel presents this as evidence of Jesus' thorough religious knowledge. Interestingly, Josephus also wrote in his Autobiography that he too questioned and amazed the pharisees and scribes at about the same age. Since it appears that the author of Luke's Gospel did borrow some other ideas from Josephus, it is possible that this passage was inspired by Josephus, but it is also possible that this was a common boast by proud parents around the beginning of the first century.
