Professor Daniel Schwartz of Hebrew University has just published in the Journal of Jewish Studies a 24-page review article on my book, *Josephus and Jesus*. liverpooluniversitypress.co.… Professor Schwartz is the first academic reviewer, to my knowledge, to state his disagreement with my conclusions about the authenticity of Josephus's testimony about Jesus (the Testimonium Flavianum), but he is still complimentary, he writes: “To conclude: although Schmidt's erudition and arguments are impressive, I still tend to believe that the TF proclaims Christian beliefs.” He also adds that I provide “a detailed and well-informed study of some details of Judaean prosopography of the first century, one that is valuable for its own sake.” I am honored that such eminent scholars have taken so much time in responding to my book. Daniel Schwartz, Steve Mason, and James Carlton Paget have combined to write over 50 pages in their academic reviews. What is more is the fact that all three have approached the task with admirable clarity and charity, having understood and fairly portrayed my arguments. Mason stated that my arguments for authenticity were “strong” and Paget wrote that my argument is the “best case” hitherto made for authenticity. I am gathering and going through all the reviews thus far written and am finding them very stimulating. I hope to incorporate them into some kind of second edition or follow-up article in the future.
