February 22, 2008: I think that Maier's version of Josephus' writings deserves a thumbs up. I read this book and learned a great amount along side of the scriptures. Josephus does a good job at recording biblical and intertesmental history. There are things about this book that makes me want to purchase it. I want to learn more about Jewish history and how Jews thought.
