The Portraits of Jewish Authorities in Luke and Acts (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The world of Second Temple Judaism was marked by a complex and often contentious relationship between different Jewish sects, religious authorities, and the overarching Roman imperial power. Understanding the figures and institutions that shaped Jewish governance and religious life in this period is essential for comprehending the portrayal of Jewish authorities in the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. The figures of the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, elders, and the high priestly class were not monolithic but represented a dynamic and shifting landscape of theological, social, and political interests. The Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish judicial body, played a critical role in both religious and civil matters, often negotiating between Roman expectations and Jewish traditions. The tensions that emerge in Luke-Acts reflect not only the theological disputes of early Christianity but also the historical realities of the first century.
