Abstract: "Josephus' Stoic pessimism led him to believe that everything was decaying since a lost "golden age". Moreover, he was fascinated by Rome's power and troubled that the ancient and incomparable Law of Moses was not the law of the masters of the world. Thus when Josephus retold the story of creation in Antiquities 1:27-74, he tended to twist his biblical sources, thus producing a striking contrast with contemporary Jewish and Christian books whose perspective was more in line with Genesis". - D.J.H.
