Jewish War of Flavius Josephus

Jewish War of Flavius Josephus Synopsis

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The historic authority and trustworthiness of Josephus, and his personal reputation, have furnished a subject, at different times, for vehement and acrimonious controversies. In fact, no ancient writer can be named who has been, at once, so hotly assailed, and so fondly defended; and it has become manifest that motives, taking their rise from a reference to the ulterior consequences, real or imaginary, of the argument, while they have sharpened the animosity of these attacks, have too much influenced the mode of defence.
