The Second Temple period will look at the Jewish rebellions, including the Maccabees against the Greeks, the Jews against the Romans, Bar Kochba's reconquest of Jerusalem, and the splintering of Jewish society into numerous Jewish sects. We will discuss the significance of the development of the Talmud and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Also considered will be Jesus' Jewish identity and the beginnings of Christianity emerging from Judaism.
