Excerpt from Genuine Works of Flavius Josephus, the Jewish Historian, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing Twenty Books of the Jewish Antiquities, Seven Books of the Jewish War, Two Books in Answer to Apion, the Martyrdom of the Maccabees, and the Life of Josephus The credibility of Scripture History has been established by a combination of evidence, altogether incontrovertible. This is the more remarkable and satisfactory, as the Bible con tains not only the most ancient records, but exclusively makes known to us the origin of all things, and the transactions of those ages, which will in vain be sought for elsewhere, or found involved only in fable.
