Editorial Review Book Description In volume 1, discover how Herod the Great came to be king of the Jews during the time of Julius Caesar, how he ruled and what he accomplished. You will hear the story of his larger-than-life personality and how family conflict poisoned his reign. Discover the means by which Herod eliminated his enemies, including members of his own family, and how his successors' corruption and ineptitude brought on growing anarchy and religious tension.Peer into the mind of nationalist fanatics bent on destroying themselves and their nation for the sake of their beliefs. Hear how famous persons like Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Pontius Pilate, Augustus, Nero, Vesapasian and Josephus himself played their parts in this fascinating history. Volume 1 begins with the origins of the House of Herod in the middle of the first century B.C. and carries us to the opening battles of the Jewish revolt and the arrival of Vespasian in Judaea.Although we encourage listeners to hear the entire work from the beginning in order to form a more complete understanding, those who are only interested in the revolt itself may skip to Chapter 9 in volume 1. Running time: 10 hours for Volume 1. Contents of Volume II: The spectacularly violent Jewish revolt of A.D. 66 is in full swing as volume 2 opens, and we begin our story with the horrific siege of Jotapata and the capture of Josephus. Listeners receive a rousing, eyewitness account of Roman arms in action as Vespasian presses relentlessly onward to Jerusalem. As the Roman war machine closes in on Jerusalem, the fanatic zealots inside the city are involved in tearing each other apart and savaging the citizens trapped inside.With doom approaching from afar and civil war convulsing the city from within, the once grand metropolis of Jerusalem begins to disintegrate. Vespasian is proclaimed emperor upon Nero's death, and turns over command of the army to his brilliant son, Titus, who encircles Jerusalem and places it under siege. Unable to escape the city and preyed upon by the enraged fanatics from within, the pitiful citizens can only watch helplessly as the horrible specter of famine begins to envelope Jerusale! m and spread into every household. The horrors of siege warfare are driven home as we hear some of the most impassioned descriptions of man's folly ever put on paper. Learn how the magnificent Great Temple was burned and obliterated, and discover the fate of Jerusalem itself. And finally, hear the account of the incredible siege of Masada, one of the last major events of the war. The Jewish War is one of the most important histories to survive from ancient times, dealing as it does with a subject of which there are very few sources. This is an engaging and heart-felt chronicle by Customer Reviews (18)
An excellent translation..
A tale of horror for the Jewish people
The Jewish War Was aBloody Wars.
History by an eyewitness After his capture, he apparently realized the hopelessness of war against Rome and seemed to have been surprised and saddened by the civil wars, murders, and political infighting of the Judeans within Jerusalem.He tried many times to shame them out of their infighting, and he encouraged them to surrender undoubtedly because, due to their disunity, they faced certain defeat.He is sometimes referred to as a traitor because he did not support the rebellion to the end.I don't think this is fair to Josephus.Not every political movement in a country is righteous and justified.I wonder how I would act were I were a German citizen during the Nazi era or an Iraqi during Saddam Hussein's defiance of international law. I found Josephus to be a very rich source of information for "Revelation and the Fall of Judea."I am very grateful that Josephus took the time to write such a detailed account of what he saw.He writes his history almost like a novel.This easy to understand translation makes for very interesting reading.I highly recommend this book.
Eyewitness to the destruction of Herod's Temple Josephus briefly mentions the three Jewish sects of the 1st century AD, the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Essenes.Though he seems to hold the Essenes in high regard, he himself became a member of the Pharisees after a decision making process.One thing that stands out in my mind after reading this book and that is the description of the beliefs of the Pharisees.The Pharisees ascribed everything to Fate or God.This is imporant as far as the events of the book are concerned because Josephus states both Fate and God were on the side of the Romans. You can tell that Josephus knew the Romans would eventually win the battle.Josephus was more concerned with the saving of the Temple.Josephus describes the different factions that caused the revolt and how they were "ungodly."These "terrorists" were gung-ho for a revolt against the Romans while the average citizen was terrified.Deserters were killed by the so-called Jewish terrorists and their partisans.Josephus claims to have tried to talk some sense into these rebels, but to no avail.It seems that Josephus blames the destruction more on the Jewish rebels or "terrorists" than he does the Romans.He goes into gruesome details of the infighting that took place inside of Jerusalem's walls even before the Romans arrived.It was due to the sins of these "bad" Jews that brought the wrath of God upon them.He even claims this was foretold in a prophecy.Josephus is ultimately unable to get these rebels to surrender and thus save the Temple.The Temple was used as a fortress and became the focal point of the war.These terrorists defiled the Sanctuary and the city of Jerusalem and would not give up their madness.The Romans had allowed the Jews to practice their faith and maintain their Temple pretty much as they willed.The rebels, being so eager to throw off the Roman yolk and to perhaps rule the country themselves, refused to give up their agenda.Thus the utter destruction of the Temple.Though you can imagine the Romans were a little less humane than was portrayed in this writing.Yet, you do get the feeling that Zealots or radical Jews were largely to blame.At the least, foolish for their attempt to defeat the Romans at that time.They probably should have listened to the reason of Josephus. ...

Great Scholarship
3rd Grade Reading Level and Biased
Best translation ever of Josephus for normal people Dr. Maier's translation and commentary on Josephus is one of 3 modern translations I own, but is the only one I have used for the last 5 years. It brought Josephus to life for me and allowed me to read and understand this valuable primary source. Dr. Maier's work is generously accented with maps and illustrations and features a translation of Josephus that is abridged and therefore readable. Dr. Maier can be trusted to weed out the useless verbosity of the original text, as he is a leading scholar on early Roman Imperial history. Sell your other versions of Josephus and buy this one and then you may actually start to use Josephus to accent your study of the Bible.

Editorial Review Book Description Throughout Christian history, the works of Josephus have been mined for the light they shed on the world of the New Testament. Josephus tells us about the Herodian family, the temple, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes. He mentions James the brother of Jesus, John the Baptist, and even Jesus himself. In Josephus and the New Testament, an internationally acknowledged authority on Josephus introduces this first-century Jewish historian to readers who want to begin to explore his witness to environment in which early Judaism and Christianity took shape.
