Edersheim, Alfred – Bible History, The, Old Testament
Seven volumes were written of the History of the Jewish perspective from the Jewish perspective.
Category: Jewish
This category, Jewish authors, holds works by Jewish Authors or those still holding to the religion of Israel as interpreted by modern-day Jewish teachers.
I would note that the Messianic Movement is a subversive movement within Christianity (this is New Testament Christianity which is built on the Old Testament Judaism) which try to identify as Christianity with the purpose to bring their converts under Old Testament Judaism in its modern interpretation, or i.e., salvation by keeping the Old Testament Law.

Josephus – Antiquities of the Jews
Josephus’ studies of Jewish culture. “Now I have undertaken the present work, as thinking it will appear to all the Greeks worthy of their study; for it will contain all our antiquities, and the constitution of our government, as interpreted out of the Hebrew Scriptures.” Josephan scholar, Louis Feldman, highlights several of the misconceptions about the Jewish people that were being circulated in Josephus’ time. In particular, the Jews were thought to lack great historical figures and a credible history of their people. They were also accused of harboring hostility toward non-Jews, and were thought to be generally lacking in loyalty, respect for authority, and charity.[4] With these harsh accusations against the Jews fluttering about the Roman empire, Josephus, formerly Joseph ben Matthias, set out to provide a Hellenized version of the Jewish history.
