Description

How do historians manage the influence of Josephus when conducting historical inquiry? In Turbulent Times?, Josephus and Scholarship on Judaea in the First Century CE, author McLaren examines the relationship between historical sources and academic interpretation. Using the presentation of Judaea in the first century CE as a primary test case, the text explores how much existing scholarship relies on Josephus's specific perspective. McLaren argues that much of the current academic work lacks conceptual independence, often repeating the narrative of a society in constant turmoil leading up to the revolt of 66-70 CE. This volume proposes a new strategy for researchers by utilizing a case-study approach and asking open-ended questions. By moving away from traditional patterns, the book calls for a fresh appraisal of the social and political situation in Judaea. This work is an essential addition to The Library of Second Temple Studies, offering a rigorous look at how we interpret ancient historical accounts.
