The Life and Works of Flavius Josephus

Enhance the effectiveness of your scripture study—make the Bible come alive with the sights and sounds of first-century Palestine as recorded by famed historian Josephus. You'll change the way you relate to the stories and figures in the New Testament as you meet John the Baptist, Pontius Pilate, the Sanhedrin and, most importantly, Jesus himself in an entirely new context. A comprehensive look at Jewish history from the Creation through the First Jewish-Roman War, this book belongs right next to the Bible on every serious student or scholar's shelf.
