But the multitude punished those that slew Amon, and buried him with his father, and gave the kingdom to his son Josiah, who was eight years old. -from "Book X, Chapter IV"Considered a traitor and informer by some, his writings possibly Roman propaganda, first-century scholar Josephus is a suspect but still voice in classical history. Containing Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews, Books VII-XIII, the volume covers Jewish history from the death of Saul to the death of Queen Alexandra, and remains a vital early source of Jewish tradition. Though he was captured by the Romans and later became a Roman citizen, casting this work in a questionable light, religious thinkers today still look to this classic 18th-century translation, making it must reading for anyone hoping to appreciate modern Judeo-Christian culture.OF INTEREST TO: readers of ancient history, religious scholarsRoman Jewish historian FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS (ca. 37-ca. 100) also wrote the twenty-one volume Antiquities of the Jews.British clergyman and mathematician WILLIAM WHISTON (1667-1752) is the author of the groundbreaking New Theory of the Earth (1696), as a result of which he was named successor to Sir Isaac Newton as Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge. |

עמוד 29 - There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds : but the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children ; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom and was unto him as a daughter.
