Josephus records the trials and tribulations of several Jewish Messianic figures of the time. It's interesting to note that several of alleged Gospel accounts see to be lifted from these accounts in Josephus.
Josephus wrote in 75 and 93-94 AD, but Ringo claims the entire N.T. to be completed prior 70 AD.
Josephus has the death of James being by stoning Acts 12:2 has the death of James being by sword 2nd-century church chronicler Hegesippus,..has James being clubbed to death.
