Description: Turbulent Times?: Josephus and Scholarship on Judaea in the First Century CE (The Library of Second Temple Studies, 29) [Hardcover] McLaren, James S. and Grabbe, Lester L. Product Overview How do you contend with Josephus's interpretation of events when undertaking historical inquiry? Taking as a test case the presentation of Judaea in the first century CE, McLaren argues that existing scholarship fails to achieve conceptual independence from Josephus. It simply repeats Josephus's presentation of a society engulfed in an escalating turmoil that allegedly culminated in the revolt of 66-70 CE. A new strategy is offered here by applying a case-study approach and formulating open-ended questions.
