*Question*: What are the ancient Jewish sects?

*Answer*: First-century historian Josephus observed that there were three sects among the Jews: the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and Essenes. Historian Pamela Nadell examines these once-flourishing sects that thrived in the late Second Temple era until the war between the Jews and the Romans (66-70 A. D. ) sealed their fates.

*Question*: What are the different sects of Jews during the intertestamental period?

*Answer*: During the second century B. C. , two important Jewish groups emerged: the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

*Question*: Who were the political leaders during Jesus time?

*Answer*: During Jesus' public career, the Roman prefect was Pontius Pilate (ruled 26-36 ce).

Although nominally in charge of Judaea, Samaria, and Idumaea, the prefect did not govern his area directly. Instead, he relied on local leaders.

*Question*: What are the 5 sects of Judaism?

*Answer*: Prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Jews of the Roman province of Judaea were divided into several movements, sometimes warring among themselves: Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Zealots, and ultimately early Christians.
