Jesus Proof?","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":5035,"description":"The first-century historian Flavius Josephus is the oldest source we have for the historical Jesus outside of the Bible.\n\nHis 90-word paragraph about Jesus - where he calls Jesus “the Christ”, and says Jesus “appeared to them [the disciples] alive again on the third day\", spending a third day restored to life - has sparked centuries of debate.\n\nMost experts think this paragraph has an authentic core, but has been embellished by a later Christian scribe.\n\nBut new scholarly evidence has emerged that might turn our understanding of Josephus - and what he wrote about Jesus - on its head.\nCREDITS\nUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. \nAlasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.\nSiobhan McGuiness is online librarian.\n Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant. \nSantino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. \nEditing by Richard Hamwi.\nOur voice actor today was Yannick Lawry.\nSpecial thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. \nUndeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Py8Vg1W08bdcSDt35n-FQ6AooE33-oqYd-TopyTKIlk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM4NzMvMTYzNzA1/MzM0MC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
