Blood wrote:The silence of Philo (or any historian) is a weak argument. For one thing, it's not like the complete works of Philo (or any historian of antiquity) has survived until now. Philo, or some other unknown historian, could have written about him, but those documents didn't survive. Very, very little from the ancient world has. Just imagine how much more we would have to work with if the Library of Alexandria had survived intact.
Your forgetting that the library was torched by xtians. Had they discovered any mention of this Jesus they would have guarded it with their lives. Obviously there was nothing there that was of any interest to them.
