Ratings and reviews

The footnotes, references at the back of the book, additional commentary and sources by William make this worth a read. Just as amazing as the man who wrote it is the man who translated it. William was a lover of bible truth and ANTI trinitarian, his deep convictions were a result of very through meticulous bible study, his words were not to be taken lightly. Its remarkable to note that while sir Issac newton and other prominent learned men of Cambridge did not believe in the anti biblical trinity doctrine, but were afraid to speak out under penalty of death. William defied the Anglican Church and brought honor to Jehovah the god that he worshiped! Please keep in mind that Josephus made a few historical errors that contradict the bible in a few places, as he relied on ancient rabbinical traditions, for some source material. The sections in question are from the creation, Abraham to the exodus, Josephus incorrectly states that moses was married before escaping to the land of Midian. And a few rare occasions when he was incorrectly interpreting bible prophecy.For the most part Josephus does a thou rough investigation and quotes source material which can in some cases still be found.
