The Life and Works of Flavius Josephus

This volume gathers the essential works of Flavius Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian: his autobiography, the sweeping Antiquities of the Jews (from Creation through the Roman era), the harrowing Wars of the Jews, and his defense Against Apion. Josephus supplements and illuminates the Old Testament, fills the silent centuries before the New Testament, and gives the fullest surviving account of Jerusalem's destruction and Masada. A foreword by David J. Ridges frames its value for scripture students.

• The single most important historical source outside the Bible for understanding the world of the Old and New Testaments
• Read the eyewitness account of Jerusalem's destruction and the last stand at Masada
• Discover extra-biblical details—like Moses as an Egyptian general—that the scriptures leave out
• The complete Whiston translation in one volume, with an LDS-oriented foreword

Perfect for a serious student of the Bible or Come Follow Me who wants a primary historical source to deepen Old Testament and New Testament study.
