This course takes the students into an in-depth and comprehensive journey through the social, political, cultural and religious contexts of the biblical stories from the time of King David to the Second Temple period. Participants will analyze both biblical historiography and archaeological evidence which point to what really happened in the Land of Israel during the last 3,000 years, including the deep impacts of the Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans and others who passed through the holy land.

3 Jewish Roots of Christianity.

This popular course is based on two pillars:

• A comprehensive analysis of the New Testament writings as Jewish literature.
• An in-depth exploration of the main personalities of the gospels such as John the Baptist, Jesus of Nazareth and the apostles, as members of different sub-cultures of the overall Jewish society during the Second Temple period. Students will examine the scientific aspects found in Israel to better understand the complexity and diversity of the Jewish society during that time period, using archaeology, geography, biblical criticism, epigraphy, and historical records to reconstruct these profound ancient realities.
