Tradition and Politic in the religious formation of the Jewish groups of the second century BCE to the first century CE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Jewish groups from the second century BCE to the first century CE have been considered in the last decades by an approximate perspective, starting from the common characteristics among them. Many of them come from the ancient traditions, present in the sacred texts of national scope. However, others have no parallel in biblical history, but are present among groups of that period. The purpose of this article is to show that these characteristics are not the result of borrowings, but result from the political pressures that leveled the religious and social experiences of all those groups that were present in a wide and structured network of interdependencies.
