Flavius Josephus - Translation and Commentary. vol. 5: Flavius Josephus Judean Antiquities 8-10 Edited by Steve Mason Translation and commentary by Christopher T. Begg & Paul Spilsbury This volume provides a new English translation and commentary on Josephus' Judean Antiquities 8-10 in which he retells the history of Israel from the time of the later divided monarchy down through the exilic period. The commentary devotes particular attention to Josephus' use of his many biblical sources for this period, e.g., the books of Kings, Chronicles, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah and Nahum and Daniel. It also examines the question of the textual forms of these books used by him, and notes parallels to his presentation in both ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman literature. The book is intended primarily for Biblicists and scholars of ancient Judaism. Christopher T.

He has published extensively on Josephus' reworkings of the Bible, including Josephus' Account of the Early Divided Monarchy (Peeters, 1993) and Josephus' Story of the Latter Monarchy (Peeters, 2000).

He has published widely on Josephus' interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, including The Image of the Jew in Flavius Josephus' Paraphrase of the Bible (Mohr Siebeck, 1998).
