Assignment for Friday, 02-20-2015

Dear Readers of Rome,

On Friday, we start our next section (cue fanfare): Messiahs, Martyrs, and Saints. We will begin with a class on Ancient Judaism, before proceeding on to an assortment of early Christian materials, tastefully complimented by a few rabbinic counterpoints.

Please do the following:

(1) Download, print, and read the fact sheet on the Hebrew Bible.

(2) Download, print, and read the selections from the Hebrew Bible.

(3) Download, print, and read the excerpt from Louis Feldman, Jew and Gentile in the Ancient World.

In class, I will be distributing a timeline of Ancient Judaism. You can also download it here.
