{"product_id":"turbulent-times-1","title":"Turbulent Times?","description":"How do you contend with Josephus's interpretation of events when undertaking historical inquiry? Taking as a test case the presentation of Judaea in the first century CE, McLaren argues that existing scholarship fails to achieve conceptual independence from Josephus. It simply repeats Josephus's presentation of a society engulfed in an escalating turmoil that allegedly culminated in the revolt of 66-70 CE. A new strategy is offered here by applying a case-study approach and formulating open-ended questions. In so doing, McLaren calls for an entirely fresh appraisal of the situation in Judaea and other areas where Josephus serves as a major source.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223455650136,"sku":"9781850758914","price":235.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781850758914_410b559d-3969-4496-97d1-aca45078ffde.jpg?v=1744268454","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/turbulent-times-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
