''Josephus'' by Norman Bentwich is a comprehensive biography of the Jewish historian and scholar, Flavius Josephus. The book explores Josephus’ life and achievements, including his famous works ''The Jewish War'' and ''Antiquities of the Jews.'' Bentwich delves into Josephus’ upbringing, education, and political career, as well as his controversial decision to side with the Romans during the Jewish-Roman War. The author also examines Josephus’ impact on Jewish history and his contributions to the understanding of ancient Judaism. This book provides a fascinating insight into the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in Jewish history.Josephus was essentially an apologist, and his writings include not only an apology for his people, but an apology for his own life. In contrast with the greater Jewish writers, he was given to vaunting his own deeds. We have therefore abundant, if not always reliable, information about the chief events of his career. It must always be borne in mind that he had to color the narrative of his own as well as his people’s history to suit the tastes and prejudices of the Roman conqueror.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
