Mikhail Kublanov
Edit ProfileCareer
Kublanov published about 100 scholar works on the history of religion and archaeology. After the discovery of Dead Sea Scrolls Kublanov became one of the Soviet scholars who tended to acknowledge the historicity of Jesus, unlike proponents of the Christ myth theory, like Sergey Kovalev. In 1994 Kublanov emigrated to the United States and lived in Philadelphia.
Politics
Kublanov also regarded the Testimonium Flavianum as authentic, writing that that passage, as attested in Agapius" chronicle, "does not conflict with the political allegiance and religious affiliation of Josephus Flavius, so there are no evidences whatsoever to consider it false".
