They shaped the political and cultural climate in which Jesus lived and the Gospels were written, extending the Temple of Jerusalem to the point that it became a pilgrimage site for Jewish *and* gentile tourists all over the world. They also inspired a reaction against their rule in the bedrock of Judeo-Christian philosophy, which warns against mixing politics and religion—from “render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s” to key teachings in the Mishnah, the foundational document of Rabbinic Judaism.The presentation will begin at 12:30 p.m. followed by a question and answer period.
