The book tells the story of the famous Jewish historian and political figure of the 1st century AD, Josephus Flavius (Joseph ben Matthias), who was an eyewitness, active participant, and chronicler of the Jewish War - a grand uprising of the Jews against Roman rule. We largely know about the main events of this war, the most tragic in the history of the Jewish people - the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem - from his writings. But who was the author: a traitor to his people (as most Jews considered him for almost two millennia), a servant of Roman emperors who was granted the right to bear their family name - Flavius, and who composed his historical works to please them, or a man devoted to the faith of his ancestors and trying to defend the interests of his people until the end of his life? What significance do Flavius's testimonies about the person of Jesus Christ have for Christian apologetics, and why were his books translated into many languages (including Old Russian) in ancient times? These are the questions posed by the author of the book, the well-known Israeli writer, historian, and journalist Peter Lukimson.
