| Title: Josephus' Portrait of Gideon Secondary Title: REJ Volume: 152 Pages: 5-28 Type: Journal Article Year: 1993 Abstract: "Josephus, like the NT (see Heb 11:32-34), had a very high opinion of Gideon, regarding him as a model of every virtue: wisdom, courage, temperance, justice, and piety. He omitted whole episodes that either would reflect badly on Gideon or would not suit his own apologetic goals. he also introduced editorial "improvements" into the story: clarifications, increased suspense, and drama". - D.J.H.
