After reading the material in the ENT I was very intrigued by how unusual the Jewish belief was in the first-century to the rest of the world. I never really knew just how different Judaism was compared to the other beliefs at this time. For example, there was the Greeks and the Romans who worshiped many gods. Now, I have always know that there were faiths, such as the Greek and Romans, that were around at this time, but I never really knew how much they contrasted the Jewish belief. This gives me a renewed respect for the Jews at this time who stuck by their belief in the One True God with the constant adversity they faced for believing this way.
