Extra Credit # 2:

Due November 6 at 11:59 pm. This is a writing assignment worth 10 points.

Read Document by Josephus and use information from your book, videos, and lectures to answer the following questions:

1. Can you identify reasons that the Jews of Judea might resent foreign rule and rebel against Roman authority?
2. According to Agrippa, why won’t God help them in their revolt? In what ways will they offend God by going to war?
3. Why does Agrippa argue that the time for revolt has long passed and that the real opportunity would have been at the time of Pompey?
4. Who else will pay the price for the Jewish revolt? What does this reference tell us about the status of Jews at the time?
5. If you were a resident of Jerusalem listening to this speech, what would you have thought about your chances of success against the Romans? If the odds were stacked so immensely against the Jews, why do you think they still revolted?
