The Jewish War
Book • 1959
Josephus's "The Jewish War" provides a detailed account of the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE).
It covers the political and military events leading to the war, the various factions within Jewish society, and the Roman campaigns.
The book is a significant historical source for understanding the period, offering insights into the social, religious, and political dynamics of Judea under Roman rule.
It's considered a primary source, though Josephus's biases and potential for self-aggrandizement must be considered.
The work remains a cornerstone of understanding this pivotal moment in Jewish history.
