[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8508706, member: 58172"] The time period takes place after the Magi and before the Tora-teaching activity by Jesus. Judging by the chronology that I prefer, somewhere between 1 BCE and 30 AD. During this period, Romans severely persecuted Israel (including Judea and the Galil, as well as Samaria). Even Jesus’s own family suffered persecution, and had to flee from Herodos who was a personal friend of Augustus the Roman Emperor, and was puppet government for the Roman Empire. Also, this time period is the world that Jesus himself grew up in. He studied the Judaism of this time period. It is a chance for Christians to become more familiar with the humanity of Jesus, as a person, rather than the dehumanizing mythification of him. For gaming purposes, it probably is better if Jesus doesnt show up yet. Because statting him can be theologically difficult for some Christians. Personally, I would just stat Jesus up as a normal human, Jewish (proto) rabbi, in the tradition of Hilel. Hilel himself is also a descendant of David, and the two families might even have been related to each other. In any case, a game like this can be an opportunity for Christians to explore and maybe even connect with the social identity that Jesus himself had. [/QUOTE]
