The Wars of the Jews
'Perhaps the most influential non-biblical text of Western history' -Steve N. Mason (Canadian historian of Judea in the Graeco-Roman period.) Josephus (CE 37-c. 100) was a priest, a soldier, and a scholar. For centuries, Josephus' works were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. The Wars of the Jews recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation and provides valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity. This book is divided into seven books, from the taking of Jerusalem by Antiochus Epiphanes to the Sedition at Cyrene. A very worthwhile read LARGE PRINT EDITION (easy-to-read layout) BOOK I. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS. FROM THE TAKING OF JERUSALEM BY ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES, TO THE DEATH OF HEROD THE GREAT. BOOK II. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF SIXTY-NINE YEARS. FROM THE DEATH OF HEROD TILL VESPASIAN WAS SENT TO SUBDUE THE JEWS BY NERO. BOOK III. CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF ABOUT ONE YEAR.
Judarnas Krig
Här berättas om personligheter som läsaren kanske redan känner från Bibeln: Herodes den Store, Herodes Antípas, Pontius Pilatus, kung Agrippa, romerske prokuratorn Felix och flera andra. Du får läsa om religiösa och politiska rörelser, om fariséer, sadducéer och essener, om Jerusalem och dess tempel, om Palestinas geografi och natur, och mycket annat. Verkets författare är juden Josephus. Han föddes år 37 e. Kr., ett år efter att Pontius Pilatus kallats hem från Judéen, och samma år som Caligula utropades till kejsare i Rom.
