Review of Josephus' HIstory and Comments

Josephus was a Jewish priest with, I believe, a definite love for truth and righteousness as well as for his Jewish nation, which he defends in one of his essays. It is part of classical history that thinking people should read (and get away from the nonsense and worse of the TV set).
His history of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD is one of the classics of history of all time because of its demonstration on God's hand in history and the fulfilment of the prophecies of Moses written many centuries earlier.

Complete Works of Josephus

For any Bible student interested in enlarging his/her background knowledge of events pertaining to the Jews, I think this is a fine volume. It is always wise to be mindful that history is subject to the perspective of the historian, and a translation of his work adds another layer of interpretation.
This volume is adequate in describing the struggles of the Jews and the folly of politics; a lesson yet to be learned by modern man.

Fascinating View into the Ancient Past

Josephus is an important proof for the Biblical Account, and an important read for scholars interested in the Jewish wars with Rome, the Destruction of Jerusalem, and other events of the age from an eyewitness.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

This renowned reference book has served scholars, pastors, students, and those interested in the background of the New Testament for years. The insight given into the Essene community, the destruction of Jerusalem and the interpretations and traditions of the Old Testament in first century Judaism is invaluable. The outlook of Josephus, a late first century Pharisee and historian, on Jesus and the New Testament documents is enlightening and provocative. As an original reference, The Works of Josephus is essential to a full understanding of the first century, the time of Christ and the New Testament.

Complete and unabridged, this is the best one-volume edition of the classic translation of JosephusÂ? works. The entire text has been reset in modern, easy-to-read type; numbering corresponding to that used in the Loeb edition has been added to the text; and citations and cross-references have been updated from Roman numerals to Arabic numbers.
