How do you contend with Josephus's interpretation of events when
undertaking historical inquiry? Taking as a test case the
presentation of Judaea in the first century CE, McLaren argues that
existing scholarship fails to achieve conceptual independence from
Josephus. It simply repeats Josephus's presentation of a society
engulfed in an escalating turmoil that allegedly culminated in the
revolt of 66-70 CE. A new strategy is offered here by applying a
case-study approach and formulating open-ended questions. In so
doing, McLaren calls for an entirely fresh appraisal of the
situation in Judaea and other areas where Josephus serves as a
major source.
