AB Josephus presents a very sympathetic view of the Medium of Endor (1 Samuel 28). This contrasts with the consensus of scholarly thought that suggests Josephus borders on misogynism in his presentations of women in the Bible. Josephus’ treatment of the medium is contrasted with his remarks about the Wise Woman of Tekoa (2 Samuel 14). This is followed by an analysis of why Josephus favors the medium.
