Several scholars have argued that Acts used material from both of Josephus ' works, rather than the other way around, which would indicate that Acts was written around the year 100 or later.

** The works of Josephus

The works of Josephus refer to at least twenty different people with the name Jesus, and in chapter 9 of Book 20, there is also a reference to Jesus son of Damneus who was a High Priest of Israel but is distinct from the reference to " Jesus called Christ " mentioned along with the identification of James.

The earliest secure reference to this passage is found in the writings of the fourth-century Christian apologist and historian Eusebius, who used Josephus ' works extensively as a source for his own Historia Ecclesiastica.

Josephus wrote all of his surviving works after his establishment in Rome ( c. AD 71 ) under the patronage of the Flavian Emperor Vespasian.

As is common with ancient texts, however, there are no surviving extant manuscripts of Josephus ' works that can be dated before the 11th century, and the oldest of these are all Greek minuscules, copied by Christian monks.

There is considerable evidence, however, that attests to the existence of the references to Jesus in Josephus well before then, including a number of ad hoc copies of Josephus ' work preserved in quotation from the works of Christian writers.

The works of Josephus were translated into Latin during the fourth century ( possibly by Rufinus ), and, in the same century, the Jewish War was " partially rewritten as an anti-Jewish treatise, known today as Pseudo-Hegesippus, but < nowiki ></ nowiki > was considered for over a millenium and a half by many Christians as the ipsissima verba of Josephus to his own people.

One of the reasons the works of Josephus were copied and maintained by Christians was that his writings provided a good deal of information about a number of figures mentioned in the New Testamant, and the background to events such as the death of James during a gap in Roman governing authority.

However, the account of Josephus differs from that of later works by Hegesippus, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen, and Eusebius of Caesarea that it simply has James stoned while the others have other variations such as having James thrown from the top of the Temple, stoned, and finally beaten to death by laundrymen as well as his death occurring during the siege of Jerusalem in AD 69.

Another example of the textual arguments against the Testimonium is that it uses the Greek term poietes to mean " doer " ( as part of the phrase " doer of wonderful works ") but elsewhere in his works, Josephus only uses the term poietes to mean " poet ," whereas this use of " poietes " seems consistent with the Greek of Eusebius.

The concordance of the language used in the Testimonium, its flow within the text and its length have formed components of the internal arguments against its authenticity, e. g. that the brief and compact character of the Testimonium stands in marked contrast to Josephus ' more extensive accounts presented elsewhere in his works.

Even after Eusebius ' 324 AD reference, it is not until Jerome's De Viris Illustribus ( c. 392 AD ) that the passage from Josephus is referenced again, even though the Testimoniums reference to Jesus would seem appropriate in the works of many intervening patristic authors.

Louis Feldman views the reference to Jesus in the death of James passage as " the aforementioned Christ ", thus relating that passage to the Testimonium, which he views as the first reference to Jesus in the works on Josephus.

Alice Whealy, who supports the partial authenticity of the Testimonium, has rejected the arguments by Kenneth Olson regarding the total fabrication of the Testimonium by Eusebius, stating that Olson's analysis includes inaccurate readings of both the works of Josephus and Eusebius, as well as logical flaws in his argument.

James Dunn states that the works of Josephus include two separate references to Jesus and although there are some interpolations in the Testomonium, there is " broad consensus " among scholars regarding the nature of an authentic reference to Jesus in the Testimonium and what the passage would look like without the interpolations.

These works provide valuable insight into 1st century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity ( See main article Josephus on Jesus ).

While in Rome and under Flavian patronage, Josephus wrote all of his known works.
