Description

Turbulent Times? examines how scholars can critically engage with Josephus's historical interpretation of first-century CE Judaea without becoming dependent on his narrative framework. McLaren argues that existing scholarship uncritically accepts Josephus's portrayal of a society in escalating turmoil leading to the 66-70 CE revolt, failing to achieve genuine conceptual independence. This work from the Library of Second Temple Studies series introduces a case-study methodology and open-ended questioning approach to reexamine Judaea's historical situation. By challenging the dominance of Josephus's interpretation in academic discourse, the author calls for a comprehensive reassessment of first-century Judaean society and events. The book addresses a fundamental problem in ancient history scholarship: how to use ancient sources critically whilst avoiding interpretive circularity. Scholars of Second Temple Judaism, ancient history, and religious studies will find this analytical framework essential for understanding the period beyond Josephus's influence.
