Reviews

"...we are grateful to have this detailed and sensitive commentary on War 2 [...]. As usual in this series, the concern is to uncover and explain Josephus' meaning. Here Mason has delved deep into historical, literary and linguistic reference tools to produce this impressive and illuminating commentary on a text of especial interest to readers of the New Testament." – J.K. Elliott, Novum Testamentum 52.2 (2010)
"...der vorgelegte Band, der durch ausführliche Register gut erschlossen wird, [ist] ein nicht hoch genug zu schätzendes Instrument für jede weitere Forschung zum wichtigen zweiten Buch des Bellum wie auch für die Josephus-Forschung insgesamt." – Manfred Vogel, Journal for the Study of Judaism 41 (2010)
