作者简介
Flavius Josephus (37-100 CE) was a Jewish historian born in Jerusalem to a high priestly and royal family. He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish-Roman War as the commander in Galilee but was captured in 67 CE and thereafter served the Roman cause, adopting the family name of his patron, the Flavian emperor Vespasian. Josephus is best known for 'The Antiquities of the Jews,' a comprehensive 20-volume historiographical work that chronicles the history of the Jewish people from the creation narrative up to the outbreak of the revolt in 66 CE. His writings are characterized by intricate detail and a Hellenistic literary style, tailored to resonate with Roman audiences while preserving Jewish history and apologetics. Josephus' works are considered invaluable for historians studying ancient Judaism and early Christianity, and his mention of significant figures like Jesus Christ and John the Baptist has earned him a wide readership beyond the scholarly community. While providing an essential account of Jewish history, his works also reflect Josephus' complex life as a Jewish priest, scholar, and Roman citizen, offering insights into the interplay between Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures of the era.
