In this episode of Out of Zion, ICEJ USA’s Dr. Susan Michael shows how understanding Judaism helps us connect the Bible to life today as she traces its development from Jesus’ time to the present. She reviews the four major New Testament-era sects—Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots—explaining how the 70 AD temple destruction led to Rabbinic Judaism and how oral traditions shaped practice.
