Product Description
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 JosephusA' 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.

 The Works Of Josephus October 1, 2008
A good reference source but Whiston neglected to say which version of the 'Wars of the Jews' he translated. Its obviously the Roumanian version parts of which are suspect since it differs markedly from other versions.
 Scriptural Historian September 30, 2008
I have read the Bible from cover to cover and Josephus truly gives light to certain things and sayings in the Bible. He also gives a clear picture of the goings and comings of the day, (the music of the decades) so to speak. Truly a serious piece of literature. I love this book and would recommend it for anyone in search of more scriptural knowledge.
 Great August 30, 2008
The book is wonderful. the only complaint is that the book was sent to someone else in another state and i recieved thier books. It took an extra two weeks to track it down and then pay for the post "again" to get what I paid for in the first place.

Fascinating View into the Ancient Past June 23, 2008
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.

want to know how Christianity was working when the apostles were still the ones calling the shots? here is a first/second century historians perspective on what was going on in that time
