These last three books of Josephus’s Antiquities detail Jewish history between the establishment of direct Roman rule in Judea in 6 CE and the outbreak of the Judean rebellion against Rome in 66 – a rebellion that culminated in 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple. Along the way, these books also constitute the main source for the context in which Christianity was born. This volume offers a translation of Josephus’s Greek text, along with a commentary that aims to clarify the history to which Josephus testifies and also its meaning for him as an exiled Jerusalemite and rebel-turned-historian.

Insgesamt erfüllt S., was er in der Einleitung seines Kommentars versprochen hat. Die Lektüre des Kommentars können wir auch denjenigen empfehlen, die sich nicht besonders für die Werke des Josephus interessieren, aber bereit sind, sich auf eine spannende Reise zu begeben, auf der sie ihr Wissen aus der Bibel mit den Informationen aus den Jüdischen Altertümern vergleichen können.
