It’s important to remember that Judaism wasn’t a static religion in the first century. In fact, there wasn’t a single Judaism, there were multiple Judaisms.

This set them apart from the rest of the Roman empire, which was both pagan and extremely pluralistic.

Potluck guest: Agnostic Hebrew Bible scholar Moses Dupre.
