JEWISH HISTORY FROM CREATION TO CHRIST RCEGN 8835 c01
9/24 - 10/29 6:30 - 8 pm
Judaism is arguably the most tenacious and resilient culture in the history of mankind. It has existed for 4,000 years, suffered countless hardships, and through it all became the foundation for 3 of the world’s major faith traditions. With over 50% of the world’s population identifying with one of these traditions, the history of Judaism, for many of us, is our own history. In this course we will look at the span of Jewish history from the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob) until the time of Christ. The course will explore this history not only from the biblical perspective, but also non-biblical writings (like Josephus) and archaeology.
