His able pen paints the unforgettable times of Christ, making them real and meaningful.This edition is the standard English translation and includes the Antiquity and Wars of the Jews, The Life of Josephus, and Dissertations on Christ, John the Baptist and others; also the only non-Biblical contemporary reference to Jesus in all of ancient literature. This important book should be on every student's shelf."

HOLT. RINEHART AND WINSTON

Josephus’ account of a war marked by treachery and atrocity is a superbly detailed and evocative record of the Jewish rebellion against Rome between AD 66 and 70. Originally a rebel leader, Josephus changed sides after he was captured to become a Rome-appointed negotiator, and so was uniquely placed to observe these turbulent events, from the siege of Jerusalem to the final heroic resistance and mass suicides at Masada. His account provides much of what we know about the history of the Jews under Roman rule, with vivid portraits of such key figures as the Emperor Vespasian and Herod the Great. Often self-justifying and divided in its loyalties, The Jewish War nevertheless remains one of the most immediate accounts of war, its heroism and its horrors, ever written.

Excerpt from The Works of Flavius Josephus: Comprising the Antiquities of the Jews; A History of the Jewish Wars; And Life of Flavius Josephus, Written by HimselfWhen Josephus here nys, that from sixteen to nine teen. Or for three years, he made trial of the three Jewish sects, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Runs. And yet says presently. In all our copies, that he stayed besides with one particular ascetic, called Baum, wug' saw. With him, and this still before he was nineteen, there is little room left for his trial.of the three other sects. I suppose, therefore, that for ca! With him. The old reading might be cag' m'ruac, With them, which is a very small emendation,-and takes away the didiculty before as. Nor is Dr. Hudson's conjecture, hinted at by Mr. Hall in his preface to the Doctor's edition of Jose. Phus,at all impmbahlmthat this Banus, by this his descrip tion, might well be a follower of John the Baptist, and that from him Josephus might easily imbibe such notions, as aﬂerwards prepared him to have a favourable opinion of Jesus Christ himself, who was attested to by John the dantist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
