Michael Avioz builds upon his earlier work on Josephus as an
exegete, providing a comprehensive study of Josephus’
contribution to the crystallization of the Halakha which focuses on
the similarities (and dissimilarities) between his work and the
tannaitic sources, as well as contemporary Second Temple sources.
Avioz begins by providing a clear definition of Halakha, and
offering an explanation of methodology and sources. He then
examines the structure and contents of the Pentateuch in
Josephus’ writing, before moving on to more specific coverage of
the Decalogue in the work of Josephus and its relation to other
laws in the Pentateuch. Further analysis is applied to the laws in
the books of Leviticus-Deuteronomy and on laws that appear outside
the Pentateuch. Throughout, Avioz makes close comparisons between
biblical laws and Josephus’ rewriting of them, in order to
consider the reasons behind this rewriting and the origins of the
texts that Josephus may have had access to in his exegetical work.
Avioz is consequently able to draw clear conclusions about the
interpretative traditions that Josephus had access to and worked
within, and about how he used them in his writing.
