Atwill argues (contrary to many scholars) that the “"Testimonium Flavianum"” ("Ant. 18.3") is genuine because he sees it as the introduction to a literary triptych. Immediately following the Testimonium Flavianum is the story of Decius Mundus, who pretends to be the god Anubis, to trick a woman named Paulina into having sex. Atwill sees Decius' name as a pun on Publius Decius Mus, a sacrificial hero of the Roman Republic. As the story continues, Paulina's husband Saturninus agrees that it would be no sin for Paulina to have sex with God. So Paulina and Decius Mundus sleep together, but Mundus returns on the third day to boast that he is no God. Atwill argues that Mundus’ return is a parody of Jesus’ resurrection, and that his worshippers Paulina and Saturninus have obviously been swindled.
In 1971 Pines discovered a 10th-century Arabic version of the "Testimonium Flavianum" by Josephus due to Agapius of Hierapolis. Pines also discovered a 12th-century Syriac version of Josephus by Michael the Syrian.

Franz Anton Knittel defended the traditional point of view in theology and was against the modern textual criticism. He defended an authenticity of the Pericopa Adulterae (John 7:53–8:11), Comma Johanneum (1 John 5:7), and Testimonium Flavianum. According to him Erasmus in his Novum Instrumentum omne did not incorporate the "Comma" from Codex Montfortianus, because of grammar differences, but used Complutensian Polyglotta. According to him the "Comma" was known for Tertullian.
Scholarly debate over Josephus’ knowledge of Christianity has centered on two explicit passages in the Antiquities of the Jews: the “"Testimonium Flavianum"” ("Ant. 18.3") and a passage that mentions James as the brother of Jesus Christ ("Ant. 20.9"). Atwill argues that in addition to those brief passages, Josephus wrote several vicious satires of the Gospel narrative and Christian faith, indicating that he was highly familiar with its tenets, but also disdainful.

Of the two passages, the James passage in Book 20 is used by scholars to support the existence of Jesus, the Testimonium Flavianum in Book 18 his crucifixion. Josephus' James passage attests to the existence of Jesus as a historical person and that some of his contemporaries considered him the Messiah. According to Bart Ehrman, Josephus' passage about Jesus was altered by a Christian scribe, including the reference to Jesus as the Messiah.
Shortly after Nero's death in A.D. 68, the Emperor Vespasian added a sun-ray crown and renamed it "Colossus Solis", after the Roman sun god Sol. Around 128, Emperor Hadrian ordered the statue moved from the Domus Aurea to just northwest of the Colosseum ("Amphitheatrum Flavianum"), in order to create space for the Temple of Venus and Roma. It was moved by the architect Decrianus with the use of 24 elephants. Emperor Commodus converted it into a statue of himself as Hercules by replacing the head, but after his death it was restored, and so it remained.
Josephus' "Antiquities of the Jews", written around 93–94 AD, includes two references to the biblical Jesus in Books and . The general scholarly view is that while the longer passage, known as the Testimonium Flavianum, is most likely not authentic in its entirety, it is broadly agreed upon that it originally consisted of an authentic nucleus, which was then subject to Christian interpolation or forgery.

Feldman has stated that "few have doubted the genuineness" of Josephus' reference to Jesus in and it is only disputed by a small number of scholars.
The extant copies of this work, which all derive from Christian sources (even the recently recovered Arabic version), contain two disputed passages about Jesus. The long one has come to be known as the "Testimonium Flavianum". If genuine, it is an early extrabiblical record of Jesus, and as such is sometimes cited as independent evidence for the historical existence of Jesus. The earliest complete Greek manuscript of the "Antiquities" dates from the eleventh century, the Ambrosianus 370 (F 128); preserved in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.

Amulo reiterates the Jewish origin of both Josephus and Philo in his "Liber contra Judaeos", and expresses his anxiety that these works were not to be overvalued by Christians. In the case of Josephus, it is possible that Amulo was reacting to the "popularity" of his work rather than its actual "content". Among Josephus' works, two were widely read in their Latin forms: his "Jewish War" and "Antiquities". Not only did his "Antiquities" contain an extensive anecdote in praise of Christianity in his "Testimonium Flavianum", but the most popular translation of Josephus' history – now called "Hegesippus" for its author Pseudo-Hegesippus – openly discriminates against the Jewish people.
The "Slavonic Josephus" was defended in 1926 as authentic by Robert Eisler and was later supported by George Williamson. Robert Van Voorst states that apart from Eisler's controversial book and Williamson statements, "no strong defense has been made" for the authenticity of the "Slavonic Josephus". Henry Leeming states that Eisler at times used insufficiently substantiated material which were then discredited, adding that Eisler's philological attempts to reverse translate from Old Russian to Greek were shown to be "extremely flimsy". Van Voorst states that the contents of the passages in the "Slavonic Josephus" show that "they are Christian compositions and that they do not provide an authentic textual alternative to the main "Testimonium Flavianum"."
