Before Christmas, we began our study of the Romans. As we
learned, the Romans ruled many areas of the Mediterranean.
In one of these areas, Judaea, a new religion called
Christianity began.
As the Romans ruled Judaea, some Jews opposed Rome
peacefully while some Jews rebelled.

return, what effect might this have on you?
