Detailed explanation-1: -Which best describes the Jewish response to Roman rule? Most Jews supported a violent resistance to Rome.
Detailed explanation-2: -Christianity was created from divisions within the Jewish faith that was sparked by Jesus Christ. How did the Jews differ about how to respond to Roman rule? Some cooperated, some ignored, some left, and some revolted.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 70, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem. A large part of the Jewish population was either massacred or exiled. In Judea, the area near present day Israel, 25% of the Jewish population was exterminated and 10% enslaved. Jews became a minority in their own land.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Zealots were a political movement in 1st-century Second Temple Judaism which sought to incite the people of Judea Province to rebel against the Roman Empire and expel it from the Holy Land by force of arms, most notably during the First Jewish–Roman War (66–70).
Detailed explanation-5: -We learned that there were actually four different Jewish sects: the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes, and the Zealots (aka the Sikarim). These different sects developed because (of course, typical Jews) people disagreed on how to practice Judaism and how to live as Jews in the Roman-controlled city.
