Roman Religion & Judaism in the First Millennium B.C.

A fascinating & friendly lecture on Roman Religion and Judaism, by Rabbi John Spitzer. One can feel how rational Roman Religion is.

As it happens, I'm not Jewish, but I took two Jewish studies courses in university. My memory has failed me. Much of the Judaism part was covered in my courses. But I have forgotten it. I am sure that my professor must have talked about King Herod's renovation of the Second Temple, but I can't remember it at all. 

Often his voice drops for emphasis on a key word--I like that kind of variation as a way stay focused as a listener--but the audio doesn't always pick it up. 

In any case, great lecture!
