"The Life of Flavius Josephus," authored by Flavius Josephus himself, is an autobiographical work that provides a unique window into the life of one of the most prominent Jewish historians and scholars of the 1st century CE. Josephus was a Jewish military the captain who eventually became a Roman citizen and historian. He was born in Jerusalem around 37 CE. In this autobiographical memoir, Josephus recounts his childhood, his involvement in the Jewish-Roman War, and his arrest by the Romans. He discusses his interactions with multiple Roman emperors, like as Vespasian and Titus, that led to his Roman citizenship and protection. In the works he wrote, Josephus discusses his efforts to preserve Jewish history and culture, most notably in his extensive volumes "The Jewish War" and "Antiquities of the Jews." These historical works continue to be significant resources for understanding Jewish history as well as the political and social dynamics of the Roman Empire during his reign. The autobiography gives readers an insight into the complicated interplay between Jewish identity and Roman citizenship in the first century CE. It also gives light on Josephus' function as a bridge builder between the Jewish and Roman worlds, a role that elicited both praise and distrust from his contemporaries.

"Against Apion" is an important literary work written by Flavius Josephus, a 1st century CE Jewish historian and scholar. The book is a detailed refutation to the Alexandrian grammarian and scholar Apion's writings, which levied many charges and falsehoods against the Jewish people and their traditions. Readers are compelled to continue reading to find out what happens next since the title character is so indulgent. Being a Jew, Josephus takes on the duty of defending Judaism and its antiquity against Apion's malicious charges. He challenges Apion's charges with carefully documented data and reasoned arguments that verify the legitimacy and venerable heritage of Jewish religion and culture. One of the key themes of "Against Apion" is the refutation of the idea that Jews were a recent and inferior the group when compared to other ancient countries. Josephus emphasizes the ancient origins of Jewish practices, laws, and traditions, dating them back to the dawn of time. Furthermore, Josephus argues for Jewish culture's moral and intellectual superiority, rejecting Apion's claims of Jewish brutality and ignorance.

Also known as "Jewish War" or "De Bello Judaico" in Latin, the book recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman rule, particularly focusing on the events leading to the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE.

Josephus, having served as a military commander for the Jewish forces before his capture, provides insights into the strategies and tactics employed by both sides. Siege of Jerusalem: A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the siege of Jerusalem, which culminated in the destruction of the Second Temple.

It provides valuable insights into the political, military, and religious dynamics of the time.

Those who undertake to write histories, do not, I perceive, take that trouble on one and the same account, but for many reasons, and those such as are very different one from another. For some of them apply themselves to this part of learning to show their skill in composition, and that they may therein acquire a reputation for speaking finely: others of them there are, who write histories in order to gratify those that happen to be concerned in them, and on that account have spared no pains, but rather gone beyond their own abilities in the performance: but others there are, who, of necessity and by force, are driven to write history, because they are concerned in the facts, and so cannot excuse themselves from committing them to writing, for the advantage of posterity; nay, there are not a few who are induced to draw their historical facts out of darkness into light, and to produce them for the benefit of the public, on account of the great importance of the facts themselves with which they have been concerned. Now of these several reasons for writing history, I must profess the two last were my own reasons also; for since I was myself interested in that war which we Jews had with the Romans, and knew myself its particular actions, and what conclusion it had, I was forced to give the history of it, because I saw that others perverted the truth of those actions in their writings.
