Quote by: Zhavric Oh, there's a lot more to the story, but that's the basic motivation. The temple was thoroughly corrupted by the Romans. The Jews were being taxed just for being Jewish. The big rebellion had failed.
Jews had to find a way to get people to want to be Jewish again. There are other chapters of the tail, but without that introductory motivation, none of them make sense.
Does your book mention Philo of Alexandria? |
I do not want to get too far ahead, but yes good old Philo is mentioned and his family of Hellenized Jews. Quit wealthy and powerful.
