EarthDiverse History course on the Second Temple Period starts Wed 23 October!

todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce a new course entitled: "HIS325: An Introduction to the Religious, Cultural and Political Background of the ‘Inter-Testamental’ and ‘New Testamental’ Periods, aka the ‘Second Temple Period’" with Dr Dennis Green, PhD, beginning Wed 23 October 2024, 7:00-8:30pm and running for 6 consecutive weeks.

This 6-week course examines the religio-cultural matrix which produced Judaism, Jesus and the earliest Jesus movement. This period brought about the death of ‘Ancient Israel’ and the birth of ‘Judaism’. We'll explore the intersection of Greek philosophy and Semetic theology. This historical period was an era of rapid religious change and uncertainty, massive cultural clashes and unending political turmoil. As a result, it was also an era of great religious creativity and diversity. This included the creation of a new religious movement in Judaea which would eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world.

Our courses are offered as in-person classes, live-streamed via Zoom, or via video recordings which are made available 1-2 days after each class session.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
