Re: 'Gospel of Jesus's Wife': Insane backstory
We have no religious institutions other than Christian ones in my town unfortunately. I also read that Rabbi was a modern term not used in Jesus' day while searching about marriage. However, I know the two Jewish sages Hillel and Shammai are considered Rabbis and they existed from 50 BCE -30 CE. A little of Hillel and Shammai in context of Jewish history http://www.aish.com/jl/h/cc/48943176.html?mobile=yes. This article indicates Rabbis were in place as early as 273 BCE. Please note the credentials of the article's author in the bio at the bottom of the page. A little more on the historical use of the word Rabbi can be found here: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/...sm/Rabbis.html
I'd like to make another thread about Jesus the historical figure and scholars beliefs about who he was. If anyone wants to jump in before me, feel free. Just remember to cite your sources even if it's not online.
