Our Young Folks’ Josephus<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by William Shepard<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>Flavius Josephus was a Roman historian from the first century AD who wrote a number of very important manuscripts that provide much of the historical information that we rely on to this day about the first millennium of human civilization. This book adapts the accounts from two of Josephus’s most important documents, translating them into a thoroughly readable narrative suitable for the young student of history. Beginning with the story of Abraham, it blends stories familiar from the Old Testament with stories of historical figures known from other contexts, such as Alexander the Great, offering a sense of how the historical world of the Bible blended together with the history of the Ancient Greeks and Romans.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
