5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing portrayal of ancient Jewish history, 1 May 2007
By David Carson "Author, 'Maccabee'" (Willow Spring, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Though there is undeniable bias and, in fact, some minor contradictions in this famous work (e.g., Josephus confuses the name of the Syrian officer Apelles who was killed by the Maccabees at Modin in "The Antiquities of the Jews," calling him Bacchides - who was actually another Syrian general the Maccabees fought in later encounters - in "The Wars of the Jews."), this is an essential historical work for any student of the period. It was in reading Josephus while in graduate school that I was inspired to write my own book "Maccabee." What I found particularly intriguing was Josephus's discussion of the political machinations and the vying for power from the time of the Judas Maccabeus right up to the time of Christ. Though I would not use the works of Josephus as a tool for biblical authentication (there are plenty of other sources that serve that purpose), the history he has recorded certainly provides a better understanding of the tumultuous world into which Jesus Christ was born.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating insight into the first century world., 30 Oct 2001
By lloydevans1@hotmail.com (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Josephus: The Complete Works (Hardcover)
Whiston's translation of the complete works of Josephus provides an excellent opportunity to glimpse into the troubled land of Palestine during the Jewish War. Josephus offered an unbiased account. Though he was Jewish, he could see the merits of Roman occupation. His account of the destruction of Jerusalem in particular is both thrilling and comprehensive. I would recommend this book to any who seek secular proof of the bible's authenticity as a historical document.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessarily complex translation, 6 Feb 2008
By K. Walsh "Scipio Africanus" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really can't recommend this book. It reproduces an 18th century translation of Josephus which is now incredibly difficult to understand and at times incomprehensible.

3.0 out of 5 stars Historically Good
As a book this is historically good, a great hisory book. For anyone to write a book not that long after the resurrection of Christ was quite a feat in itself. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars correction
It should be noted that Josephus did not offer an "unbiased account" of the period. He was a Jewish general in the war against Rome, and later defector to the Roman side. Read more
