Titus Flavius Josephus: born Yosef ben Matityahu was a first-century Jewish historian who was born in Jerusalem in 34 CE (Then part of Roman Judea) to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry. He died in 100 CE at the age of 63.
Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War (66–70 CE), His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94). The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation. Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Greek and Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity. Josephus’ works are a great source for the history and antiquity of ancient Israel.

he Jewish War
JTJW
The Jewish War (Wars of the Jews) The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem, is a book written by the 1st century Jewish historian Josephus.
It is a description of Jewish history from the capture of Jerusalem by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 164 BC to the fall and destruction of Jerusalem in the First Jewish-Roman War in AD 70. The book was written about 75, originally in Josephus’s “paternal tongue”, probably Aramaic, though this version has not survived. It was later translated into Greek, probably under the supervision of Josephus himself.
The sources of knowledge that we have of this war are Josephus’s account and from the Talmud (gittin 57b) and in midrash Eichah.

Against Apion
JAp
is a two-volume defence of Judaism as classical religion and philosophy, stressing its antiquity, as opposed to what Josephus claimed was the relatively more recent tradition of the Greeks. Some anti-Judean allegations ascribed by Josephus to the Greek writer Apion, and myths accredited to Manetho are also addressed.

Discourse To The Greeks Concerning Hades
describes the author’s views on the afterlife against the prevailing view of the “Greeks” (i.e., the Greco-Romans) of his day. Although generally still reprinted in editions of Whiston’s Josephus, later scholars have realized that this attribution is incorrect. This brief discourse, at least in its original form, is now attributed to the church father Hippolytus.

Against Apion
JAp
is a two-volume defence of Judaism as classical religion and philosophy, stressing its antiquity, as opposed to what Josephus claimed was the relatively more recent tradition of the Greeks. Some anti-Judean allegations ascribed by Josephus to the Greek writer Apion, and myths accredited to Manetho are also addressed.
