<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3410160, member: 82616&quot;]I am familiar with Maier&#039;s &#039;Reader&#039;s Digest&#039; translation, but even it doesn&#039;t dispute Mason&#039;s overall argument about <i>what </i>exactly was on display in the triumph. Maier tends to take Josephus at face value and not understand the wink wink, nudge nudging that&#039;s going on. Josephus, after all, was in on the joke.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as English translations of <i>The Jewish War, </i>H. St. J. Thackeray&#039;s in the Loeb series is the most accurate and scholarly one out there. It really is worth a read.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I highly recommend Mason&#039;s <i>Josephus and the New Testament. </i>It can be picked up rather cheaply in paperback on amazon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
