The church was born into a specific period in history, to a specific culture, location, language, etc. In last week's session we looked at the impact of the Greek and Roman worlds on the birth of the church.
This week, we begin to look at the Jewish world, from the Babylonian Exile to the Roman occupation. We will see the rise of such figures as the Herods in Palestine and how their reign paved the way for the Roman occupation of Palestine.
Thank you for listening to today's lesson.
