Encounter the world and traditions that Jesus knew. Illuminate
your understanding of the New Testament. In The Complete Works you

Josephus left us the earliest independent accounts of the lives
of Jesus, John the Baptist, and James the brother of Jesus. Much of
what we know about the beliefs of the Sadducees and Pharisees comes
from Josephus. Without Josephus, we would know very little about
the Essenes, the ancient Jewish group most frequently associated
with the Dead Sea Scrolls.
