From the dust jacket: "Valued by scholar and layman alike, these important writings of the famous historian, student of law, and military commander of antiquity, chronicle the fascinating first century A.D.The ancient past springs to life, becoming a thrilling narrative, when seen through the eyes of Josephus. 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."

Leaders & Notable People

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.

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.
