Yeah that would be an extreme fringe opinion from my understanding.


I'll try to track down my old western civ book lol. I double checked my notes and that's the date, but sold back the textbook.

As it happens, we have an excellent witness to events in Judaea in the first half of the first century A, Philo of Alexandria (c. 25 BC-47 AD). Yet Philo says not a word about Jesus or Christianity! Feel free to explain.

do you know where Alexandria is? why the hell would a member of the Alexandrian Hellenistic Jew community comment about some random prophet in Judea?
and how does this override the numerous other accounts of J?

the information flow of the ancient world was not like it is today and surviving records are what they are.
it might be hard for a modern person to understand that Jesus in his times simply wasn't the world-defining fellow that he is nowadays.


i don't know about any of Philo's works though. what does he write about and why should he have mentioned Jesus?
