Life of Josephus {AM 4587 - 4650} (1 jan 37 ano – 1 jan 100 ano)

Descrição:

Titus Flavius Josephus (/dʒoʊˈsiːfəs/; Greek: Ἰώσηπος, Iṓsēpos; Hebrew: יוֹסֵף בֶּן מַתִּתְיָהוּ, Yōsēf ben Mattīṯyāhū; c. 37 – c. 100) was a first-century Romano-Jewish historian and military leader, who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry.

His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94).

The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation. Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Greek and Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into first-century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity. Josephus's works are the chief source next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine, and provide a significant and independent extra-Biblical account of such figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, John the Baptist, James the Just, and possibly Jesus of Nazareth.
