  :The section I cut is an undigested quotation - an article shouldn't be a pastiche of quotations, and it was already summed up earlier in the article, why repeat the same thing? The main problem with the article as it stands is that it tries to portray liberal Christian scholars as the only real scholars while dismissing the views of skeptical writers whose background is in the sciences as opposed to liberal theology as pseudo-scholars or marginal writers. Yes, some liberal Christians consider the Jesus references in Josephus to be genuine, but traditional Jewish scholars and skeptical scientists simply do not and at most allow for the possibility that there may have been some sort of reference that has been replaced but a Christian redaction.
