Absolute Must for Scholar and Student

Josephus is a work that must be read and understood if one is to understand First Century Jewish life and thought. Josephus was a historian that was captured by the Romans, particularly by the Roman General Vespasian and Titus, both at the time were to be future Ceasars of of Rome. Josephus worked as a historian afterwards and told the story of the Jews. The most important contribution of Josephus comes in "The Wars of the Jews" in which he describes the siege and destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD. Also, much is owed to understanding the lives of the emporers of Rome and Herod and his sons. If you are going to get a grasp on the history in the New Testament you have to have Josephus. If it were not for his writings much important history would not be known. Every student and scholar should have and read a copy of Josephus. I recommend the transaltion by William Winston in the hardback edition.

Great Surprise

The book was received promptly and in the best and newest condition one could expect. Price was most convenient. I will continue shopping for historical books at Amazon; you are amazing!!! Thank you for the great and secure service.

Excelent

I really like this book and i think the translator is really skilled but the thing that kinda bothers me is that...i think i would probably understand the book better if it was in its orginal language. But for what it is, its excellent!

Good history of Jews and their wars
