Abstract: In Against Apion, Josephus appeared to be an apologist but he was also shaping his book to suit his Roman readers. He adapted his writings to the limits of the tolerance of the public and his patrons. He represented Judaism as a religion that inspired philosophical thoughts, and he did not directly address some issues that his pagan readers would feel over-sensitive about.
