This is a CD eBook of the Complete Works of Flavius Josephus, in Adobe PDF file format. This eBook is over 1400 pages! It also contains the original book scanned forreferencingas well.In studying Judean history in the first century AD, there is no historian more important than Josephus, especially when one is interested in the study of the historical Jesus or of the world around him (the religious/social/political climate, etc.) Josephus is not only the only Jewish historian of this era to comment on Jesus, he is the only Jewish historian to thoroughly present the history as well as the psychological outlook of the Jews through a lengthy span of time. His works are immeasurably important to anyone interested in this line of study.The works of Josephus give a reader a window into the perceptions of the world in the first century. Josephus offers information about individuals, groups, customs and geographical places. His writings provide a significant, extra-biblical account of the post-exilic period of the Maccabees, the Hasmonean dynasty and the rise of Herod the Great. He makes references to the Sadducees, Jewish High Priests of the time, Pharisees and Essenes, the Herodian Temple, Quirinius' census and the Zealots, and to such figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, Agrippa I and Agrippa II, John the Baptist, James the brother of Jesus, and a much disputed reference to Jesus Christ. He is an important source for studies of immediate post-Temple Judaism (and, thus, the context of early Christianity).The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus Ebook disc contains the followingThe Life of JosephusThe Hades DiscourseAgainst Apion (Books 1 & 2)Antiquities of the Jews (Books 1-20)Wars of the Jews (Books 1-8)Do you like audio books?....Did you know?.....Adobe Acrobat Reader has a "Read Aloud" function of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
