Inhalt:

Now when Titus, going his rounds along these ravines, saw them full of dead bodies, and observed the thick matter running from these clammy corpses, he groaned and spread out his hands to heaven, and called God to witness that this was not his doing. -from "The Jewish War" This first-century volume of Jewish history is still controversial today, two millennia later. Considered a traitor and informer by some, his writings possibly Roman propaganda, Josephus provides a suspect but still vital participant's perspective on the First Jewish-Roman War. Though he was captured by the Romans and later became a Roman citizen, casting this work in a questionable light, some Christian scholars look to this classic 18th-century translation as outside confirmation of the New Testament, making it must reading for anyone hoping to appreciate modern Christian apologetics. Also included here is Josephus' Against Apion, his defense of Judaism. Roman Jewish historian FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS (ca. 37-ca. 100) also wrote the twenty-one volume Antiquities of the Jews. British clergyman and mathematician WILLIAM WHISTON (1667-1752) is the author of the groundbreaking New Theory of the Earth (1696), as a result of which he was named successor to Sir Isaac Newton as Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge.
