Josephus Flavius’s life was defined by the Jewish war against
Rome, about which he wrote his first book as a friend of the
imperial family, enjoying the benefits of an end to the conflict.
But this dichotomy between war and peace defined not only the life
of our author but also the history of all peoples in Late
Antiquity, so it is not surprising that war and peace also play a
central role in his second book. A broader theme could hardly have
been chosen for this volume, which naturally brought with it the
diversity of the studies it contains. At a conference in May 2022
at Selye János University in Komárom – "Peace and War in
Josephus" – a distinguished, international group of scholars took
up this theme, including Tal Ilan (Israel), Steve Mason (Canada),
Jiří Hoblík (Czech Republic), and five Hungarian colleagues:
Tibor Grüll, Ádám Vér, József Zsengellér, István Karasszon,
and Viktor Kókai-Nagy. Their papers in English or German are
complemented by three additional papers from Carson Bay
(Switzerland), Marin Meiser (Germany), and David R. Edwards (USA).
Together, their work ranges from the historical and literary
context to the political and philosophical thought of the author.
