| Title: On the Use of the Term "Galileans" in the Writings of Josephus Flavius: A Brief Note Secondary Title: JQR Volume: 72 Pages: 45-49 Type: Journal Article Year: 1981/1982 Abstract: "Kommt (gegen Leitlin) zum Ergebnis, daß Josephus die Galiläer nicht als eigene politische Partei verstand. // The eleven instances of "Galileans" in Joephus' Life overlooked by S. Zeitlin [§ 19-362] militate against his generalization that this name was given to revolutionaries against Rome by the rulers of Judea who were appointed by Rome. The geographical interpretation of ""Galileans"" seems more likely not only in LK 13:1-2 but also in Josephus Life 30, 62, 77-79, 205-207. The other references in Life to Galileans afford no evidence whatsoever than the term denoted a distinct revolutionary party like the Zealots or the Sicarii. [In the same issue (pp. 50-52) L.H. Feldman expresses agreement with Armenti's position and presents eight supplementary comment on the use of "Galileans" in Josephus' writings.]" - D.J.H. Keywords: Palestinian Judaism, Galilee |
