Medieval Israel
At the time known for the teachings of
Jesus, Israel was under Roman rule. Christianity was supressed
by both the Herodian kings of
the Roman Empire & by the powerful Jewish priesthood. However, Chistianity spread
like wild
fire outside of
Israel in the eastern Mediterranean region in the early first century AD. In
Israel the Jewish population
fought against Roman control. In 70AD the temple in Jerusalem
was destroyed by the Romans.
