Josephus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781483799155)

In his preface of the book JOSEPHUS, author Norman Bentwich says that "Josephus hardly merits a place on his own account in a series of Jewish Worthies, but that the worth of his work recommends him to the attention of the Jewish people." Even though author Bentwich has a sometimes low opinion of TITUS FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS, he strongly states that we are indebted to Josephus for a huge amount of knowledge of the first century. Josephus wrote something that has lived, says Norman Bentwich, "...and for what he wrote, he has a niche in the literary treasure house of the Jewish people as well as in the annals of general history." JOSEPHUS by Norman Bentwich is a book that is highly articulate and deeply researched and needs to be read by anyone interested in Jewish history, or world history during the time of Jesus Christ.
