Right now I am reading Josephus in a one volume Kregel reprint edition of the William Whiston translation?, which has been mildly edited (and occasionally reproved) by Paul L. Maier (Maier 1999).
I am embarrassed by the fact that I have never sat down and read through the whole of Josephus before this point in my career. However, the imposing facade presented by this 1142 page tome might explain why I haven't: it's a lot of reading.
I quickly completed reading the inaptly named Life of Flavius Josephus?, which stands first in the volume, in the early weeks of 2009. I call it inaptly named since the bulk of its narrative focuses on Josephus' time as governor of Galilee, in the years of the Jewish War, and the work as a whole seems intended as an apologia for his actions, which, to judge by his own account, are by no means always honorable.
