Part two in a screencast lecture in four parts surveying the history of Judaism. This part covers the Hellenistic era, the Hasmonean Kingdom, and the Roman era: that is, about 333 BCE - 636 CE. Topics include the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, the two revolts against Rome, and the birth of Rabbinic Judaism. http://tinyurl.com/religionsclass Screencast lectures by Dr. Dale Tuggy, for his INDS 120 World Religions - a college course surveying the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and introducing students to the terms and classic theories of Religious Studies.
Chanukah this year begins on Saturday night, December 8 and ends on Sunday night, December 16. One of the things that makes Chanukah an intriguing holiday is that it actually begins many years before the events of the Chanukah story. In the 4th century BCE there lived the Greek leader Alexander the Great. Alexander was said to have an extremely good relationship with the Jewish people. The Talmud says that when he came to Judea to do battle, the Jewish High Priest came out to greet him and he recognized the High Priest from a dream he'd once had and the High Priest had predicted that Alexander would conquer the world. Unfortunately when Alexander died, the empire was broken into 3 groups, always warring with each other. There was the Greek part (Greece), the Northern part (Mesopotamia and Syria) and the Southern part (Egypt). The Seleucid Empire that controlled Syria and Greece got control of Judea in 199 BCE. In 167 BCE, the Seleucid leader Antiochus IV Epiphanes became the Emperor. He had just lost a battle with the Ptolemaic Greeks and blamed it on the Jews. Therefore he declared that the Jews should become more Hellenistic. He forbade Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh (the observance of the New Moon), circumcision and learning Torah. With these elements forbidden, it was difficult for the Jews to remain Jewish. The custom of the dreidel on Chanukah is attributed to the fact that Jewish children used to act as though they were playing with a top so the Syrian-Greeks wouldn't suspect they were learning Torah. The battle was not only against the Syrian-Greeks and Greek culture, it was actually a battle between Jews and their brothers who wanted to give up the mitzvot (commandments) and be more Hellenistic. Many Jews embraced Greek culture enjoying sports like wrestling, and went as far as to perform reverse circumcisions so they could fit in at the gymnasium. Eventually the Emperor deposed Mattathias the High Priest and replaced him with a more sympathetic High Priest who held more Hellenistic beliefs. It was when the new High Priest rose to the altar with a pig that Mattathias and his sons decided that it was time to rebel. That act began the rebellion of the Maccabees.

Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152)
Of the four kingdoms that arose after Alexander's death, those of the Seleucids and the Ptolemies are most pertinent to an understanding of the New Testament. Especially important is the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who forced the issue of Hellenism in Jerusalem by profaning the temple. Jews were not alike in their reaction to Hellenization, but a revolt arose under the leadership of the Mattathias and his sons, who would rule in the Hasmonean Dynasty. After the spread of Roman rule, the Judea was under client kings and procurators until the Jewish War and the destruction of the temple in 70 CE. Revolt was only one Jewish response to foreign rule; another was apocalypticism, as we see in Daniel and also in the Jesus' teaching and the early Christian movement.

What is HELLENISTIC JUDAISM? What does HELLENISTIC JUDAISM mean? HELLENISTIC JUDAISM meaning.
Hellenistic Judaism was a form of Judaism in the ancient world that combined Jewish religious tradition with elements of Greek culture. Until the fall of the Roman Empire and the Muslim conquests of the Eastern Mediterranean, the main centers of Hellenistic Judaism were Alexandria (Egypt) and Antioch (Northern Syria—now Turkey), the two main Greek urban settlements of the Middle East and North Africa area, both founded at the end of the 4th century BCE in the wake of the conquests of Alexander the Great. Hellenistic Judaism also existed in Jerusalem during the Second Temple Period, where there was conflict between Hellenizers and traditionalists (sometimes called Judaizers).
The major literary product of the contact of Second Temple Judaism and Hellenistic culture is the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible from Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic to Koiné Greek, specifically, Jewish Koiné Greek.
The decline of Hellenistic Judaism started in the 2nd century CE, and its causes are still not fully understood. It may be that it was eventually marginalized by, partially absorbed into or became progressively the Koiné-speaking core of Early Christianity centered on Antioch and its traditions.

Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152)
Of the four kingdoms that arose after Alexander's death, those of the Seleucids and the Ptolemies are most pertinent to an understanding of the New Testament. Especially important is the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who forced the issue of Hellenism in Jerusalem by profaning the temple. Jews were not alike in their reaction to Hellenization, but a revolt arose under the leadership of the Mattathias and his sons, who would rule in the Hasmonean Dynasty. After the spread of Roman rule, the Judea was under client kings and procurators until the Jewish War and the destruction of the temple in 70 CE. Revolt was only one Jewish response to foreign rule; another was apocalypticism, as we see in Daniel and also in the Jesus' teaching and the early Christian movement.

Of the four kingdoms that arose after Alexander's death, those of the Seleucids and the Ptolemies are most pertinent to an understanding of the New Testament. Especially important is the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who forced the issue of Hellenism in Jerusalem by profaning the temple. Jews were not alike in their reaction to Hellenization, but a revolt arose under the leadership of the Mattathias and his sons, who would rule in the Hasmonean Dynasty. After the spread of Roman rule, the Judea was under client kings and procurators until the Jewish War and the destruction of the temple in 70 CE. Revolt was only one Jewish response to foreign rule; another was apocalypticism, as we see in Daniel and also in the Jesus' teaching and the early Christian movement.

What is HELLENISTIC JUDAISM? What does HELLENISTIC JUDAISM mean? HELLENISTIC JUDAISM meaning.
Hellenistic Judaism was a form of Judaism in the ancient world that combined Jewish religious tradition with elements of Greek culture. Until the fall of the Roman Empire and the Muslim conquests of the Eastern Mediterranean, the main centers of Hellenistic Judaism were Alexandria (Egypt) and Antioch (Northern Syria—now Turkey), the two main Greek urban settlements of the Middle East and North Africa area, both founded at the end of the 4th century BCE in the wake of the conquests of Alexander the Great. Hellenistic Judaism also existed in Jerusalem during the Second Temple Period, where there was conflict between Hellenizers and traditionalists (sometimes called Judaizers).
The major literary product of the contact of Second Temple Judaism and Hellenistic culture is the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible from Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic to Koiné Greek, specifically, Jewish Koiné Greek.
The decline of Hellenistic Judaism started in the 2nd century CE, and its causes are still not fully understood. It may be that it was eventually marginalized by, partially absorbed into or became progressively the Koiné-speaking core of Early Christianity centered on Antioch and its traditions.
