Description

Josephus and the New Testament explores the significance of the works of Flavius Josephus in understanding the early history of Judaism and Christianity.

This standard introduction to Josephus, updated with new maps and text, provides an authoritative overview of his writings on first-century Jewish society, including the Herodian family, temple, Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. Josephus' accounts also shed light on key figures such as James the brother of Jesus and John the Baptist.

For readers seeking to gain insight into the historical context of early Judaism and Christianity, this book offers a valuable introduction to Josephus' witness and its relevance to understanding these pivotal periods in history.
