The works of Josephus

This collection includes several key works by Josephus: *The Jewish War*, an account of the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation up to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem; *Antiquities of the Jews*, a history of the Jews from Creation to the Roman occupation of Palestine; *The Life of Flavius Josephus*, his autobiography; *Against Apion*, a defense of the origin of Judaism; and *Discourse to the Greeks Concerning Hades*.

These works are essential for understanding Jewish history, culture, and the community of Jesus' time, as well as providing independent extra-biblical accounts of figures like Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, John the Baptist, and Jesus of Nazareth.
