I've just read this thread - I don't know how I missed it because it's something that has interested me for years, since I was a student.
Someone asked about the works of Josephus. I have a copy of "Josephus, the Jewish War", a Penguin Classic, published 1984.
Part of the book gives Josephus' version of the history of the Jews in the Holy Land, and includes vague references to Jesus. There are notes at the back which add to this.
I don't know if it's still in print.
DH studies religious scriptures and says that Jesus was recognised as a learned Rabbi and his writings exist somewhere.
