Download or read book Josephus in Galilee and Rome written by Shaye J. D. Cohen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2002 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In both Bellum Judaicum and the Vita, an appendix to Antiquitates Judaicae, Josephus deals with his own role in the war. Although both works have apologetic aims, Josephus changes his story from one work to the next. By viewing these two works in the greater context of Josephus's life and not in isolation from each other, Cohen traces Josephus's development as a historian, as an apologist, and as a Jew. --from publisher description
