Review on "THE LIFE OF FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS" By Vernon I have frequently read excerpts from religious historians, quoting from Josephus to underline their theories and/or assertions. Thus was my interest in reading this book on Josephus' life, time & adventures - as well as his writings. His references seem authentic and full of first hand references on and around the life and times of the Christ, even though they must have been in retrospect. Even so; he does repeatedly record events which provide early references to the time immediately following Christ's crucifixion and the Roman reactions to Christ's followers and their embracing Him as the Messiah.Great reading, and I am in the process of reading it again with a more critical mind and with constant cross reference to my bible. I thoroughly recommend this to curious minded bible students and scholars.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The most interesting chronicler of his age By Michael J. Edelman Josephus is probably the most interesting historian of the Roman emperor, not least because his first-person account of the life of Jesus is the single most reliable contemporary account that has survived to the present. He lived for 63 years, and during much of that chronicled the events of the Eastern Roman empire, first as a loyal Roman, and later as a more independent voice.Born Joseph ben Matityahu, Josephus was part of the failed first Jewish revolt against Rome and thanks to his literary skills, ended up as a prisoner and servant to Vespatian instead of being killed or sold into slavery. He proved a loyal hagiographer, telling the story of the struggle from Rome's point of view in "The Jewish Wars," and was freed on the death of the Emperor.But later in life , as a free man, Josephus regained his Jewish identity, and made it his mission to educate Rome as to the ancient history and the philosophy of the Jews, and to this end produced his "Antiquities of the Jews." He followed this with "Against Apion," which argued against the belief of some Romans (notably Apion) that Judaism was a recent cult without a strong philosophical and moral tradition.Whiston's translation is a bit on the archaic side and tries to capture the peripatetic style familiar to reader of the King James Bible, in which the sentences go on and on, with clause after clause, and so on and so on and..... But Whiston's choice of words is more modern than archaic, and the result is that this is not a difficult read. I've been told that the Brill translation is the best, but to my eyes, at least, there's not a tremendous difference between his and Whiston's; both keep the archaic style. At any rate, given the price of the Kindle edition I'm not complaining.
