"Perhaps the most influential non-biblical text of Western history" -Steve N. Mason (Canadian historian of Judea in the Graeco-Roman period.)Josephus (CE 37-c. 100) was a priest, a soldier, and a scholar. For centuries, Josephus' works were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. The Wars of the Jews recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation and provides valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity.This book is divided into seven books, from the taking of Jerusalem by Antiochus Epiphanes to the Sedition at Cyrene.A very worthwhile read!LARGE PRINT EDITION (easy-to-read layout)
