Navigate easily to any book from Table of Contents   or search for the words or phrases. Includes contemporary maps, timelines,   family trees, coinage, and units of measure, as well as modern view of history   and analysis of Josephus works. Josephus fought the Romans in the First   Jewish-Roman War as a Jewish military leader in Galilee. After the the Romans   invaded, killing thousands, Josephus and one of his soldiers surrendered to the   Roman forces. He became a prisoner and provided the Romans with intelligence on   the ongoing revolt. He appears to have played some role as a negotiator with the   defenders of Jerusalem in 70. In 71, he arrived in Rome in the entourage of   Titus, becoming a Roman citizen. It was while in Rome, and under Flavian   patronage, that Josephus wrote all of his works. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe works of Josephus were studied for nearly 2,000 years by scholars,   pastors, students, and everybody interested in history. Josephus writes in   enlightened and provocative style. He offers information about individuals,   groups, customs and geographical places. His writings provide a significant,   extra-biblical account of the Maccabees, the Hasmonean dynasty and the rise of   Herod the Great. He makes references to the Sadducees, Jewish High Priests of   the time, Pharisees and Essenes, the Herodian Temple, the Zealots, and to such   figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, Agrippa I and Agrippa II, John the   Baptist, James the brother of Jesus. The Josephus' books provide the most   important contemporary reference to Jesus Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe updated translations of Josephus' works by William Whiston are easy to   read and are essential to understanding of the first century Jerusalem, the time   of Christ and the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Works:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
