Description
Norman Bentwich wrote Josephus in 1914, a life and study of Flavius Josephus, for the Jewish Publication Society of America. Chapters trace Jews and Romans, Josephus's life to Jotapata's fall, and his life after surrender. His works, the Jewish Wars, and his Bible writings follow, with post-biblical history and an apology for Judaism. A bibliography and index close the book.
Bentwich opens by binding Josephus's life to the Jews' struggle against Rome. His study weighs a historian caught between peoples. A reader gets a clear, scholarly Josephus, fit for grasping a writer who chronicled his nation's ruin.
