I realized today that the Dean of the graduate school at the university I REALLY want to go to is a leading Josephus scholar. He even wrote a nice little (and by little I mean 500 page) book called Historiography and Self-Definition: Josephos, Luke-Acts, and Apologetic Historiography.
No biggie, right? Except I’m writing focusing my Honors Thesis on Josephus and his historiography. And I was kinda planning on using my thesis as my writing sample.
So either this paper better be out of this world good, or I need to keep my fingers crossed that this guy isn’t really hands on in the admissions process.
On a sillier note, I’m worrying about Josephus vs. Josephos. And can I please be bitter that spell-check recognizes neither?
