ISBN10: 1850758786, ISBN13: 9781850758785, [publisher: Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press] Hardcover First Edition Mason, Steve, editor. Understanding Josephus : seven perspectives. Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1998. Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha Supplement series ; 32. Hardback, near fine, in unclipped dustjacket with evry minor shelfwear to top edge. Red cloth with gilt lettering and decoration to front and spine. Binding strong and tight. 260pp., contents clean and bright. This volume of essays by seven prominent scholars-John Barclay, Per Bilde, Steve Mason, Tessa Rajak, Joseph Sievers, Paul Spilsbury and Gregory E. Sterling-is another step in the effort to change the way we look at this most famous/notorious ancient Jewish historian. It introduces him as a rational being, a first-century author, and a thinker, with his own literary and social contexts-on the premise that he is worth trying to understand. Three essays deal with his Jewish Antiquities, two with Against Apion, and two with the larger themes of afterlife and apocalyptic in his writings. An up-to-date assessment of Josephus and his modern scholarly interpreters, for expert and non-expert alike. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
