Summary "Selections From Josephus" by Flavius Josephus is a collection of historical writings that delves into Jewish history and biographical accounts, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This work focuses on significant events in Judea, including the Jewish War and the life of Herod the Great, showcasing the author's unique perspective as a Jewish historian during the Roman Empire. The opening of the text introduces Josephus’s own life story, starting from his early years marked by educational achievements and a keen interest in the various Jewish sects. He recounts pivotal moments, including a perilous voyage to Rome after a shipwreck, and his unsuccessful efforts to prevent a revolt against the Romans, highlighting his position at the center of significant historical events leading up to and during the Jewish War. The narrative sets the stage for a reflective and detailed examination of his experiences as a soldier and historian amidst the complex political landscape of Judea.
