Jesus and Other Rabbis (~3hrs)
If Jesus was indeed a first-century Rabbi, then does that mean he embraced the beliefs, teachings, and conventions other rabbis of his day employed? Consider what it meant to be a teacher of Torah in the first century and explore the language and teaching techniques of ancient rabbis. Learn about the literature that preserves the teachings and interpretations of famous ancient rabbis and about the synagogue functions. Sample the teachings of Hillel and Shammai that dominated the religious dialogues in those days. Make sense of the Sanhedrin and the legislative system that was established in Jerusalem generations before Jesus. Can the teachings of ancient Rabbis clarify the arguments in the Gospels? If you have not thought about this before, I invite you to reimagine Jesus as a first-century Rabbi with me.
