Josephus, author of the "Jewish War" and the "Jewish Antiquities,"
belongs equally to Jewish and to Greco-Roman history. 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. This second edition includes a substantial
new introduction and bibliography.
