Customer Reviews

Great reference book
This book is a great reference for people interested in studying God's Word. While it is no substitute for the Holy Bible, it helps put things into historical context and also provides amplifying details which are not included in our Holy texts. I would recommend reading it with a grain of salt however and would not base spiritual decisions on Josephus' words. By and large I recommend this volume for anyone interested in expanding there understanding of Biblical history.

A Book too Long.
The contents of this book are valuable to the student of Bible Studies. The problem I have found is that the book's contents are much too long for one book. It would be much easier to read if it was in two volumes and slightly larger print.

Good resource, bizarre notes
This is a nice, cheap, one-volume resource. However, the notes and commentary are very unhelpful. For instance, Maier holds that Josephus was an Ebionite Christian, a thesis which is in the extreme scholarly minority.
I recommend the book, but please ignore the commentary!!!
