Two Brothers

About the Book

It was the early decades of the new sect that called itself ‘the Way.’ The Jewish members of this sect who lived in Jerusalem struggled with being ostracized by the synagogue and with periodic occasions of persecution by the country’s elite. At the same time, the country suffered the outrageous and cruel behavior of the Roman procurators, as well as contending with the escalating confl ict between Jewish rebels and Rome, a confl ict that fi nally would destroy the Temple and temple-based Judaism. These struggles found their way into individual families. One such was the family of Neariah whose two sons were on opposites sides of these struggles. Prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, each brother sought and found his individual survival.
