Josephus the Jewish historian is used in biblical research primarily to affix a date to Luke's related events or to point out his many apparent errors. Shortly after Luke's Light was published in 2007, I became obsessed with the study of everything Josephus wrote about the events Luke described in Luke-Acts. It took several weeks for me to realize it, but I had finally stumbled onto the key to finding the missing pieces of the puzzle that would lead to the historic identities of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Luke painted the picture that would become the Jesus and Mary Puzzle, but he omitted important pieces. He hung tags around the edges to identify the characteristics of each of these missing pieces and where they might be found: the Old Testament, the works of Plutarch and Damis. But the most important missing pieces were put in the hands of Josephus! Jesus was born of Royal Blood from both his parents. Josephus reported their names before they became "Joseph and the Virgin Mary."
