What’s our consensus on him? Was he a credible historian?
>>18480657No, he was a shitty one. His work Antiquities of the Jews entirely omits events from the Bible that depict the Israelites in a negative view such as the golden calf incident. His apologetic works also make far-fetched and frankly nonsensical claims such as Greek philosophers having learnt from Jewish sages.He also created the myth of Jews being 10% of the Roman Empire’s population when in actuality they were barely even 1%.
