| Title: Reading Between the Lines. Appreciation of Judaism in Anti-Jewish Writers Cited in Contra Apionem Secondary Title: Josephus' Contra Apionem. Studies in its character and context with a Latin concordance to the portion missing in Greek Pages: 250-270 Type: Book Section Year: 1996 Abstract: Begg, Christopher T. in: OTA 20.2 (1997), 302: "Josephus' literary opponents cited by him in Contra Apionem (CA) advanced their claims about Judaism with a clearly hostile intent. In many instances, however, those claims might well have been taken by pagan readers in a way favorable to the Jews. F. illustrates the point with a consideration of the following items: the antiquity of the Jews, their stubbornness, alleged intolerance, (lack of) virtues, Cleopatra's treatment of them, the rhetoric of Apion's charges, and the character of the Egyptians".
