Fascinating image of life and historical events in the first century CE. Surprisingly readable, at least in small batches, despite the density of text and difficulty keeping track of the players.

Josephus is considered by countless scholars and intellectual Bible readers to be one of the definitive historical sources that validates and confirms the Bible's accounts. As one who loves to study both history and the scriptures, I found this book to be absolutely fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable. It's very readable in smaller doses, and full of details and great commentary. Anyone who loves the Bible, history, different cultures, and classic literary works should definitely give this volume serious consideration. Buy it, learn from it, and appreciate its value.

An excellant book, I recommend it highly. To be able to read a personal account of biblical events is really something.

One of the very few literary works of the very early years of our era that has survived in its entirety. A true, two thousand years old literary treasure. A must have.

My book came in a very timely manner. I was happy with both the pricing and the service. Thank you very much.
