EarthDiverse: new history and religious studies course begins next week
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce a new course in its Religious Studies programme entitled: "Second Temple Judaism: Ancient Israel through the Destruction of the Second Temple" with Dr Dennis Green, PhD. The course takes place on Wednesday nights 7:00-8:30pm beginning on 31 July 2024. This is a History and Religious Studies course designed towards learning more about the complex history and context of the Middle-East and the rise of early Judaism and the emergence of Christianity. More specifically, this 6-week course examines the religio-cultural matrix spanning Ancient Israel, Greek & Roman rule, through the destruction of the Second Temple. This period produced Judaism, Jesus and the earliest Jesus movement prior to the emergence of a new religion called Christianity. It was an era of rapid religious change and uncertainty, massive cultural clashes and unending political turmoil, yet it was also an era of great religious creativity and diversity.
