Reviews
It is the most comprehensive study available of prayer in the works of Flavius Josephus, and will certainly sever as the startingpoint in all further discussions of the topic....This is a fine study by a junior scholar, a piece of work that needed to be done... Jonquiere writes clearly and presents her material logically and coherently, leading the reader to the texts themselves while at the same time supplementing with her own expertise on Joesphus and the Greco-Roman world.
