About this listen
 Discover the captivating insights of Titus Flavius Josephus, the Jewish historian, military leader, and Roman citizen, who offers an unparalleled account of the Jewish people during the 1st century Roman Empire. Born in Jerusalem under Caligulas reign and present at the siege of Jerusalem, Josephus is a pivotal figure among early Christian writers. Biblical scholar Henry St. James Thackery from Kings College, UK, curates the most significant passages for understanding Christian origins and New Testament studies. He notes, Some figures in the New Testament, merely names, come alive through Josephus as he provides the rich backdrop of Jewish and world history during the time of our Lord and the early church. With over 400 footnotes and extensive appendices intertwined throughout the audio, listeners can immerse themselves in Thackerys classroom experience. Names and places are pronounced in authentic Erasmian Koine Greek, enhancing the learning journey.

    There is a tendency in the modern Church to neglect the study of Bible history. Such neglect will inevitably result in a loss of power. The gospel is a record of something that has happened, and uncertainty about the gospel is fatal weakness. Furthermore the historical study of the apostolic age—that age when divine revelation established the great principles of the Church's life—is the best corrective for a thousand vagaries. Much can be learned from modern pedagogy; but after all what is absolutely fundamental, both for teacher and for student, is an orderly acquaintance with the Bible facts. The Teacher's Manual, therefore, is intended not merely to offer suggestions as to methods of teaching, but primarily to supplement the teacher's knowledge. A teacher who knows only what he actually imparts to the class is inevitably dull.
