YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPaul Flesher, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Wyoming, presented Jesus Reading Scripture at Nazareth: The Archaeology of Worship in First-Century Synagogues at the Fall 2017 Saturday U at Sheridan College in Sheridan.
In the study of ancient Judaism, our portrayal of worship largely derives from textual evidence, from the Bible to the Dead Sea scrolls and rabbinic literature, and everything in between. Missing from the picture has been the archaeology of synagogues where such worship took place. This talk takes what we know about synagogue worship in the first century CE and portrays it in the archaeological remains of actual first-century synagogues. This move highlights the dynamics of worship and social interaction different synagogue plans encourage, and casts different interpretative perspectives on the Gospel of Luke’s story of Jesus reading Scripture in the Nazareth synagogue.
