Collected here in one unabridged edition are all 20 books of
Flavius Josephus' The Antiquities of the Jews. Antiquities of the
Jews was first published in 94 AD, it is history of the Jewish
people, written in Greek for Josephus' gentile patrons. It begins
with the creation of Adam and Eve, and follows the events of the
historical books of the Hebrew Bible, often adding information that
we might not otherwise have today. This work, along with Josephus's
other major work, The Jewish Wars, provides valuable background
material to anyone wishing to understand first-century Judaism and
the early Christian period. "I have undertaken the present work . .
. for it will contain all our antiquities, and the constitution of
our government, as interpreted out of the Hebrew Scriptures. And
indeed I did formerly intend, when I wrote of the war, to explain
who the Jews originally were, -what fortunes they had been subject
to, -and by what legislature they had been instructed in piety, and
the exercise of other virtues, -what wars also they had made in
remote ages, till they were unwillingly engaged in this last with
the Romans. . ."-Flavius Josephus
