Throughout Christian history, the works of Josephus have been mined for the light they shed on the world of the New Testament. This collection of essays focuses on threads in the first-century Jewish historian and apologist's works that are of particular interest to those studying Christianity.

By analyzing Flavius Josephus' portrayal of the Pharisees, this study clarifies some of the crucial evidence that is necessary for scholars to evaluate anew the history of the Pharisees. Included in the discussion is Josephus' writings about the group in three of his four extant works. Please note that "Flavius Josephus on the Pharisees" was previously published by Brill in hardback (ISBN 90 04 09181 5, no longer available).
