Summary: Essential Ancient Church History
Comment: Flavius Josephus was a first century Jewish historian who recorded Life in Galilee at the time of the Gospels of Christ. It's an excellent research source of insight on Jewish thought, background and ancient history. Josephus' documentation helps one to understand the world of Jesus and the Apostles. A Loeb numbering system makes it easy to locate passages referred to in other reference works. Each period set in an interval of 3,833 years. Josephus draws on his own experiences and the writings and knowledge of other historians. It's a complete chronology of the antiquities of the Jews.

The histories are laid out according to the ancient scriptures, from the Creation to the Jews departure out of Babylon. It consists of a list of ancient testmonies and records of the Old Testament in comparsion to Josephus' histories. These also list the Wars of the Jews from the evils of Antiochus Epiphanes, Herod the Great and Nero to the Besiege of Jerusalem, The Great Extremity, the Taking of Jerusalem and the Sedition of the Jews at Cyrene. This makes an excellent indepth study tool alongside the Holy Bible regarding the ancient Jewish history as witnessed by this foremost authority of his day.

Summary: A personal library necessity
Comment: I don't think anybody's library can be complete without a copy of this on the bookshelf. Although it is a very long text, it is full of supporting documents for the Bible. If you only have a copy for reference, its index is pretty thorough. Or if you choose to read it cover to cover, like I did, you can't help but learn much about Hebraic thought and history.
