Santiago,

It is important to remember that Josephus' denigration of the Jews was motivated by this need to ingratiate himself to his Roman captors, as his life depended on it. You can see a clear progression of less Roman-sucking-up from his early books (when first captured) to later books when he felt more secure in his position as pet historian to the Romans.

Hi Santiago, None besides the "War of the Jews". And there are aspects of his life, or adventures, that I do not accept, from an historian at least.
Now Mr Blevins in the following post is surprising. I do not have the book, nor the comments from historians.
I'll be looking for it/them.
