Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus
"Antiquities of the Jews" by Flavius Josephus is a 20-volume historiographical work written in 94 CE. This monumental Greek text chronicles Jewish history from the creation of Adam and Eve through the First Jewish–Roman War. Written for a Greco-Roman audience, Josephus presents biblical narratives and post-biblical events to counter Roman misconceptions about Jewish people. The work served as both historical record and cultural defense, offering a Hellenized perspective on Jewish civilization that
influenced medieval and modern understanding of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
