“Hidden in a book”. Priceless.

We’re done.

Is there a place online that would give a condensed yet accurate overview of your theory? Not that I would mind reading a book, but I have a huge pile of books that I need to read and adding another one would be pointless for the immediate future.

Joe, I don't go out to buy conspiracy theories. If you can't take the time to elaborate on your conspiracy theory here, then you're right, we're done. You have nothing more to offer the scholastic community.

Julian:

I am not aware of any 'overviews' that would - or could - give someone an informed opinion.

"Could"? Is the thesis unintelligible?

And is the responsibility for the paucity of "overviews" to be laid at your feet?

Have you (or your publisher) sent your book to the standard NT or Classics journals for review? Have you (or your publisher) advertised your book in these or other venues where professionals in the field of NT and Roman history would be made aware of its existence?

And will you please answer my question about whether you read the ancient sources you consulted and draw your alleged parallels from in their original languages? In fact, do you read Greek or Latin?

Only with great effort.

Joe,

Which scholarly publications, refereed journals, did you send your book in for review? And what were the responses?

Yes
.

Will you tell us which ones of the standard NT and Classics journals was sent to?

And how do you account for it's never having been reviewed in any of them, especially if it was noted as among the "books received"?

In one quote there is no "pedigree", in the other it is a fact. Double speak.

More: The first Flavian emperors had no descendant. End of them with Domitianus.

"his full name was Flavius Constantine" : wrong. Correct: Gaius Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus

And his son and successor: Flavius Claudius Constantinus! What! Not even a Flavian anymore!

Following the Atwill method, Flavius Josephus was also a Flavian...

Evidence that his method is crap. No evidence, no proof, no "pedigree", except that the Flavian emperors had no descendant and except that the Constantini were from an Illyrian extract...

Hypothesis on hypothesis on hypothesis... all of them without evidence, only a mad imagination. That is the construct.

History fiction.

In fact he cannot read the text of Josephus even in its English translation. He cannot understand that "his passover lamb" story happened in August.
