| Title: Contra Apionem 1.28-56. Josephus' View of His Own Work in the Context of the Jewish Canon Secondary Title: Josephus' Contra Apionem. Studies in its character and context with a Latin concordance to the portion missing in Greek Pages: 94-114 Type: Book Section Year: 1996 Abstract: Begg, Christopher T. in: OTA 20.2 (1997), 301: "Basing himself on a close reading of Contra Apionem 1.28-56, B. argues that Josephus viewed his own corpus as having a status equivalent to what of the biblical canon itself. He came to such a view on the basis of his belief that his person and writings possess the same characteristics that gave the biblical books/writings their authority, i.e., use of reliable written records, eye-witness role in the events recorded, the gift of prophetic ancestry and priestly standing".
