01:840:112 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Sheol, Pharisees, Sadducees
Document Summary
God begins and ends, each person lives once. Sheol - dark, bleak, shade, asleep in earth. Main theme - concentrate on this life. Most jews don"t think he"s the messiah. Interesting that women went to anoint body (women anoint women and men anoint men) Mary magdalene when to tomb to anoint. Sees gardener who turns out to be jesus. Still holistic - body rose from dead. 40 days after - appearances, then goes to heaven. Jesus = poor, probably one of the pharisees. Jesus says he will come back - then will initiate new kingdom. New testament - feel that he will come soon, but it"s 2000 years later. 70 ce - destruction of temple (remaining pharisees and jesus ppl) Everyone"s religion had to be the same as the emperor. Christianity became the official religion of roman empire (reason that there are so many christians) Scope of christianity - becomes diffuse, different beliefs.
