Description

Learn about the Jewish revolts against the overwhelming domination of ancient Rome.

The Romans, through sheer military strength, turned Judea into a client state. They forced the Jews to submit to Roman law and Roman taxation and to countenance Roman religion. The Jews of Judea exhibited unbelievable strength in resisting assimilation into Roman Hellenistic culture. Their history of dealing with foreign overlords inspired the Jews to hold out and then revolt against the Romans.

Readers will be captivated by the revolt of the Maccabees against the Greek Seleucid Empire. The rebellions inflicted such damage on the Seleucids that they were forced to retreat from Judea. When the tide turned in favor of the Seleucids, the Jews were forced to make a pact with the Romans to ensure their protection. Over several decades, the Romans exerted more and more power over the Jews. The Jews became more and more restive.

Are you curious to learn more? Or are you interested in learning about the Roman siege of Jerusalem? Perhaps you are intrigued about Josephus, the man from whom we get most of our information about the Jewish War. We cover all of this and more.

In this book, you will learn about the following:

• What the Maccabee family accomplished and how they set an example for future leaders of Jewish revolts against foreign powers;
