NOTE

Understanding Different Perspectives on Peacemaking in Jesus' Time

During Jesus' time, the different groups such as the Essenes, Zealots, Sadducees, and Pharisees had varying perspectives on peacemaking. The Essenes, who lived an isolated and dualistic life, faced challenges in being peacemakers due to their lack of relationships. The Zealots, characterized as radical and militant, saw peace through military victory and cleansing society. They clashed not only with Romans but also with other Jewish groups. The Sadducees were depicted as detached and elitist, focusing on rituals and relationships with Romans. In contrast, the Pharisees engaged with the people and the scriptures, striving for a harmonious balance. These diverse views shed light on the complexities of peacemaking in Jesus' time.
