Product Description
Josephus (37-100), who became known, in his capacity as a Roman citizen, as Titus Flavius Josephus, was a 1st-century Jewish historian and apologist of priestly and royal ancestry who survived and recorded the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70. His works give an important insight into first-century Judaism. His works provide crucial information about the First Jewish-Roman War. They are also important literary source material for understanding the context of the Dead Sea Scrolls and post-Second Temple Judaism. Josephus offers information about individuals, groups, customs and geographical places. His writings provide a significant, extra-biblical account of the post-exilic period of the Maccabees, the Hasmonean dynasty and the rise of Herod the Great. ... Read more

Interesting reading
I'm interested in Jewish and Christian history. I'm a devout Christian so I study the Bible intimately. I wanted to see how the antiquities relate to the Old Testament.
The antiquities are essentially the Jewish view of the world. This book is very similar to the old testament, however written from a "first hand account" for non-jews to understand the jewish perspective. I definitely enjoyed reading this.

Great book
Josephus sheds much light on the old testament.For those who like to study the Bible this is a great book to have in tandem. ... Read more

The Life and Works of Flavius Josephus, by Flavius Josephus
The book came in excellant condition and it was a pleasure doing business with the vendor who sold it to me.This book is a must read for those interested in researching ancient history.

Flavius Josephus
This book really sheds some light into the history of the period where the romans occupied Judea since he was alive during that period...one of the very few historians that were. You will not find any of this stuff through mainstream history or churches. Josephus was a Jewish historian living as a roman citizen. ... Read more

Product Description
The ambitious later work of the Jewish historian and Roman citizen Flavius Josephus, "Antiquities of the Jews" is a work of twenty volumes that gives a massive account of Jewish culture, law, custom, and history over time. Beginning with the biblical creation of Adam and Eve, Josephus then writes of Abraham teaching Egyptians science, going through most of the great biblical figures and presenting them as philosophizing leaders of their times. Though some are omitted while others are added, Josephus ends only with the Jewish people living under the Roman emperor Flavius Domitian of his own day, around the year 96 AD. The author additionally enters into philosophical debates of his day, ultimately offering an apologia for the Jewish people's antiquity and significance. This text is also of significance for its reference to Jesus, the earliest known Jewish source citing his existence. Overall, "Antiquities of the Jews" provides historians with valuable and reliable material concerning Jewish history, the early Christian period, and Judaism's place in that Roman world. ...

At least it's free
It only has the table, none of the actual book, at least it was free.

Nothing
Again, as the above reviewers have noted, you get what you pay for. The preface and table of contents. Not a single word of which was written by Flavius Josephus.

Disappointingly little
As the first reviewer noted, this is little more than a table of contents for the full work, along with a preface and footnotes thereto. Hardly the full work at all. Most disappointing. Pity.
That said, at least the price was right: $0.00 .

Only a table of contents

Product Description
You are about to purchase the Complete Works of Flavius Josephus delivered right into your Kindle! This classic, sought-after ebook is over 1400 pages.In studying Judean history in the first century AD, there is no historian more important than Josephus, especially when one is interested in the study of the historical Jesus or of the world around him (the religious/social/political climate, etc.) Josephus is not only the only Jewish historian of this era to comment on Jesus, he is the only Jewish historian to thoroughly present the history as well as the psychological outlook of the Jews through a lengthy span of time. His works are immeasurably important to anyone interested in this line of study.The works of Josephus give a reader a window into the perceptions of the world in the first century. Josephus offers information about individuals, groups, customs and geographical places. His writings provide a significant, extra-biblical account of the post-exilic period 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, Quirinius' census and 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, and a much disputed reference to Jesus Christ. He is an important source for studies of immediate post-Temple Judaism (and, thus, the context of early Christianity).The Complete Works of Flavius Josephuscontains the following:The Life of JosephusThe Hades DiscourseAgainst Apion (Books 1 & 2)Antiquities of the Jews (Books 1-20)Wars of the Jews (Books 1-8)The content of this work provides a profound sense of history, and extends without an end a greater sense of it. This book acts many times as a supplement to the bible in filling important gaps that biblical history does not provide. In almost every way, Josephus is our best available source for understanding the ancient's understanding of the Bible. As such, it is essential and invaluable to any serious student. ... Read more

Product Description
A history of the Jewish people up until the Roman conquest and destruction of Jerusalem.The Preface begins: "Those who undertake to write histories, do not, I perceive, take that trouble on one and the same account, but for many reasons, and those such as are very different one from another. For some of them apply themselves to this part of learning to show their skill in composition, and that they may therein acquire a reputation for speaking finely: others of them there are, who write histories in order to gratify those that happen to be concerned in them, and on that account have spared no pains, but rather gone beyond their own abilities in the performance: but others there are, who, of necessity and by force, are driven to write history, because they are concerned in the facts, and so cannot excuse themselves from committing them to writing, for the advantage of posterity; nay, there are not a few who are induced to draw their historical facts out of darkness into light..." ...

Product Description
One of the best known translations of Josephus's work,
translated by William Whiston in 1737

Josephus - An Eyewitness to Christianity
Josephus was a historian who lived from 37 A.D. to about 100 A.D. He was a member of the priestly aristocracy, and was taken hostage by the Roman Empire in the great Jewish revolt of 66-70 A.D. Josephus spent the rest of his life in or around Rome as an advisor and historian to three emperors, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian. For centuries, the works of Josephus were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. They are invaluable sources of eyewitness testimony to the development of Western civilization, including the foundation and growth of Christianity in the 1st Century. ... Read more
