"David Edwards explores how Josephus in Antiquities adapts the scriptural stories
of Joseph and Esther in unexpected ways as models for accounts of more recent Jewish
figures. Terming this practice "subversive adaptation," Edwards contextualizes it
within Greco-Roman literary culture and employs the concept of "discourses of exemplarity"
to show how Josephus used narratives about past figures to engage Roman elites in
moral reflection and pragmatic decision-making. This book supplies analysis of frequently
overlooked accounts as well as Josephus' broader literary strategies, and shows how
ancient Jews appropriated imperial historiographical conventions and forms of discourse
while countering Greco-Roman claims of cultural superiority"
