Address the diversity within the Jewish community of the 1st century. Write something about the social, religious and political groups (Zealots, Essenes, Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, Scribes, Priests, John the Baptist’s Group). You can do some additional outside research if you wish. Pick one or more, compare/contrast, or go beyond information presented in the series. (Look at a segment from Part I: segments 3, 4, 5, 11, or Part II segment 1 of the online version, or a segment from Part I : Jesus and Judaism, The Dead Sea Scrolls, John the Baptist and The Passion of Jesus, Part II: The First Revolt, or Part III: The Rock of Masada and the Rabbis in the video version.)
