Josephus by David Bentley-Taylor
Is there an extra-biblical data about the times in which Jesus lived?' Thanks to Josephus, the religious, social and political environment familiar to Jesus and the apostles springs to life in his pages. Here is a readable selection from his extensive writings, confirming the New Testament documents."Flavius Josephus was a first-century Jew who sided with Rome and spent the last period of his life writing history
David Bentley-Taylor has done an excellent job in reviewing the works of Josephus and particularly bringing to our attention the points at which Jospehus's account touches on the background to the NT an incidents we find there. He relates the lives of the Herods, the destruction of Jerusalem and gives information about places and customs we know from our Bibles. There is a most helpful Scripture index as well as a subject index."
David Bentley-Taylor's(1915-2005) missionary service began in China, and continued later in Java. For many years he travelled widely on behalf of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students.
