Title: Josephus' Treatise Against Apion
Secondary Title: Apologetics in the Roman Empire: Pagans, Jews and Christians
Author: Goodman, Martin
Type: Book Section
Year: 1999
Abstract: "M. Goodman's essay argues that, contrary to some theories, Josephus was not drawing upon earlier Alexandrian Jewish apologetic, but composing a carefully crafted work of his own. Goodman palaces this work as a response to Flavian anti-Jewish propaganda in Rome after the fall of the Temple, the work serving to emphasize that Jews and Romans shared the same qualities, whilst despising the same things in Greeks".
Keywords: Contra Apionem
