Description
How do you contend with Josephus's interpretation of events when undertaking historical inquiry?
Taking as a test case the presentation of Judaea in the first century CE, McLaren argues that existing scholarship fails to achieve conceptual independence from Josephus.
It simply repeats Josephus's presentation of a society engulfed in an escalating turmoil that allegedly culminated in the revolt of 66-70 CE.
A new strategy is offered here by applying a case-study approach and formulating open-ended questions.
In so doing, McLaren calls for an entirely fresh appraisal of the situation in Judaea and other areas where Josephus serves as a major source.
