About Flavius Josephus:
Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish - Roman War, including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94). The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation (66-70). Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity.

Ratings and reviews

I was very excited to have found Flavius Josephus works in audio book version even though this app doesn't have them all. However, the sound quality isn't great. I can hear background noise on some of the recordings, white noise in the background, saliva sounds in between words on some and even a sound of an apparent straw being sucked on. Not the most professional recording.

The problem is this app will no longer open...no matter how many times I delete and reinstall the app...there is nothing wrong with the content, simply put, I can no longer access the content...I have an android phone if this has anything to do with it...android is owned by Google and in my experience with Google if you are white and a christian they are by no means your friend

Great app! I like that different people are reading sections, so that the listener doesn't lose interest. They follow the text I have completely, and I am thankful for that as well.
