Josephus was a historian who lived from 37 A.D. to about 100 A.D. He was a member of the priestly aristocracy of the Jews, 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. This is the best one-volume edition of the classic translation of Josephus' works. Important improvements include: 1) an entire text reset in modern, easy-to-read type; 2) New numbering system corresponding to the Loeb edition; 3) Citations and cross-references updated from Roman Numerals to our Arabic system.
