Josephus' Interpretation of the Books of Samuel: The Library of Second Temple Studies

Autor Dr.; Senior Lecturer Michael Avioz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 oct 2016
Since the seventies, no study has examined the methodologies of Josephus' rewriting of an entire biblical book as part of his Judean Antiquities. This book attempts to fill this vacuum by exploring Josephus' adaptation of the books of Samuel, penetrating the exegetical strategies he employs to modify the biblical stories for his intended audience. Through meticulous comparison of the biblical narrative and Josephus' Antiquities, broader issues - such as Josephus' attitude towards monarchy and women - gradually come to light, challenging long-held assumptions. This definitive exploration of Josephus' rewriting of Samuel illuminates the encounter between the ancient texts and its relevance to scholarly discourse today.

Recenzii

[A] thorough and even-handed investigation.
Josephus' Interpretation of the Books of Samuel makes a significant and unique contribution to Josephus scholarship as well as to the history of Jewish biblical exegesis and the history of biblical interpretation more broadly. Avioz's careful and perspicacious study has brought to light valuable insights into Josephus's method of biblical exegesis, grounded upon numerous concrete examples from the books of Samuel. Avioz's volume is a remarkable and lucid work of cutting-edge Josephus scholarship.
