Not just another edition of William Whiston's difficult, dusty, and dated version of Josephus, but a completely new translation! Whiston is the translation found in most editions of Josephus available today and was first published in 1737.
This remarkable new translation and condensation preserves Josephus's essential writings: Jewish Antiquities and The Jewish Wars. Now inquiring readers can fully comprehend, appreciate, and benefit from these classic works which shed crucial light on the Old and New Testament. The text is eminently readable, set in large easy-to-read type, and preserves the most important content from Jsoephus. All significant passages are included, many word-for-word. Only non-essential or repeated sections are omitted and are noted with brackets in the text. Paul L. Maier's fresh translation is also enhanced by
- 83 photographs
- 12 maps and illustrations
- 5 genealogical and dynastic charts
- a thorough index
- a selected bibliography
- the Loeb numbering system
416 pgs.
