Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The Hellenistic Religious Reforms between 175(167) and 164 BCE mark one of the most threatening crises in the history of ancient Judaism. The Jerusalem Temple was converted into a Zeus sanctuary. Circumcision, to own a Torah scroll, to observe the sabbath and the Jewish cult were penalized with capital punishment. The Maccabean war ensued as a response to the Hellenistic Religious Reforms and led to the freed of Judah after centuries of foreign rule.
