When I start posting videos again, I plan to get back to my "Jesus Timeline" series.
For those not familiar, I made a video trying to map out when historical events named in the Gospels occurred and try to figure out exactly when Jesus was born, when his ministry was, etc. The Gospels also provide clues as to what Jesus age was, when the temple was built, etc. Needless to say, I conclude it can't be done.
This has attracted the attention of amateur Christian apologists who've offered a festival of ad hoc hypotheses to try to shoe horn the Gospel story into history.
The latest, that I wanted to ask you about, is the claim that John the Baptist wasn't killed for his objection to Herod Antipas' marriage to Herodius. It was for Herod's adultery with his brother's wife, that the relationship began before his brother's death.
My question for you is doesn't Josephus offer something of a date when JtB was arrested, and this date is somewhere around 36 CE?
Thanks for your help.
