Description
Résumé:This article looks at the evidence for the Jewish system of education around the time of the New Testament (100 bce‐100 ce). The purpose of this article is to help educate readers of the New Testament, and the Gospels in particular, to enable them to improve their understanding of the educational background of that day. Its methodology is to compare the rabbinic literature with New Testament materials to see if there are correlations. As such, it refutes the notion that the New Testament personalities were ‘simple folk’ and that Jesus was ‘uneducated’ (cf. John 7: 15). This article also demonstrates how the life of Paul in Acts and his letters correspond to what is known of Jewish education in the 1st century CE. In addition, Matthew and Stephen are used to demonstrate their training as midrashics and thus the education system of their day. The overall desired effect of this article is to demonstrate the moral and spiritual value of religious education in the academy, schools and church.
