The Antiquities of the Jews is a book written by Flavius Josephus, a first-century Jewish historian, and scholar. The book, originally written in Greek, chronicles the history of the Jewish people from the creation of the world to the Roman conquest of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The Antiquities of the Jews is divided into twenty books, each of which covers a different period of Jewish history. The first eleven books cover the period from creation to the Babylonian exile, while the remaining nine books cover the period from the Babylonian exile to the Roman conquest. One of the most significant aspects of The Antiquities of the Jews is its account of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Although Josephus was not a Christian, he provides one of the earliest non-Christian references to Jesus, describing him as a wise teacher who performed miracles and was crucified under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. The Antiquities of the Jews is an important historical and cultural document that provides valuable insights into the history and traditions of the Jewish people.
