A well-to-do priest and Pharisee at Jerusalem, he was a contemporary and chronicler of the great changes which took place in the Roman Empire in the first century AD and a controversial general in the great Jewish revolt of 66-73 against Rome. Tessa Rajak, an ancient historian versed in both Greek and Hebrew, assesses the varied source material to produce a sociological account of the Jewish revolt which casts fresh light on Josephus' attitudes, placing his achievement in the context of both Jewish values and the Greek historical tradition. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis second edition includes a substantial new introduction and bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tessa Rajak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715631705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715631706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.48w x 0.87d","brand":"Tessa Rajak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059551957247,"sku":"9780715631706","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45a51338-a9f7-424b-908f-8ba445117e23.jpg?v=1685058914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/josephus-tessa-rajak-9780715631706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
