With this event, we celebrate three outcomes of the AHRC-funded research project "The Reception of Josephus in Jewish Culture from the 18th Century to the Present", based at the University of Oxford and King's: Josephus's The Jewish War: A Biography (Princeton, 2019) authored by Martin Goodman; The Josephus Reception Archive (online), curated by Tessa Rajak; and Josephus in Modern Jewish Culture (Leiden, 2019), edited by Andrea Schatz. Short presentations of key findings and a response will be followed by a wine reception.

Organised by the Department of Theology & Religious Studies at King's College London.
