"Nope, I cannot claim to have read this volume from cover-to-cover, but I have read much of it... including the spurious accounts of his own conversion to Christianity.
It's been a while, but as I recall, Flavius Josephus was a Jewish scholar writing a history of his people for the Romans. Jewish scholars discount him because he wrote for the Romans.
He possessed a restless mind. His plan, as I recall, was to spend a few years practicing life as a Pharisee, then as a Sadducee. I think he planned to try a third discipline but discovered such a deep appreciation for the Pharisaic belief system that he stayed put. As I say, it's been a few years.
I loved Josephus's descriptions of Old Testament era history. I found his explanations of the era between Ezra and Christ indispensible. He is, of course, the only source we have about the siege of Masada.
He is a good writer. Many question his veracity, and maybe they are right; but for novice historians, he is an excellent source."
