Summary:

In Antiquities 15 Josephus offers an account of the Judean kingdom ruled by Herod the Great (37-4 BCE). The commentary interprets his narrative in detail and identifies historical considerations that arise in the course of such analysis.

Flavius Josephus is without a doubt the most important witness to ancient Judaism from the close of the biblical period to the aftermath of the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70. His four surviving works -- Judean War, Judean Antiquities, Life, and Against Apion -- provide the narrative structure for interpreting the other, more fragmentary written sources and physical remains from this period. This is the first comprehensive literary-historical commentary on the works of Flavius Josephus in English. Steve Mason, York University, Toronto, edits the scheduled 10 volumes.
