	Josephus - Antiquities of the Jews - Introduction
		As a personal friend of the (as he had correctly prophesied!, 2 years prior) newly inaugurated Roman emperor Flavius, Josephus moved to Rome where he had unparalleled access to the best scholars and libraries of the Roman Empire, even as his own people were being beaten down, enslaved, and harshly dispersed by Roman armies.
		This was the time of Masada, of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and of the rapid explosion of the early Christian church - one part Jewish, and two parts gentile.
		In most instances Josephus takes a defensive and explanatory posture in relating Jewish history to his gentile readership - but this was not the case concerning the Great Flood.

		The Jewish religious approach to how to understand the world–with radical amazement, with a sense in the world’s abiding goodness and purpose–is far more in keeping with intelligent design than with evolution.
