Positively, Josephus wrote the work in order to vindicate the antiquity of his people and to represent Moses' teaching as the font of all civilizations from which all peoples, the Greeks in particular, had drawn. The working out of his program in CA led Josephus into numerous miscontruals and misstatements of the evidence adduced by him (often at second hand), however". Keywords: Contra Apionem |
