The view Meier supports and argues for is that the Testimonium Flavianum was written originally by Josephus in a shorter form, and that later Christian hands added to it, but did not delete anything.
Meier's position is similar or identical to several proposals in the past: those of several other scholars, including Martin, Winter, and James H. Charlesworth, whose earlier Jesus Within Judaism (Doubleday, 1988) covered the same arguments, and also more thoroughly discussed the role of the Arabic text of Agapius.
Meier's principal goal in his Chapter 3 of A Marginal Jew was to support the plausibility of an authentic core to the Testimonium and the implausibility of the concept of total forgery.
