On Wednesday, can you include the effect the continuing trauma of Roman occupation would likely have had on the population, and in particular, how various groups such as Pharisees, Saducees, Zealots, etc. might be a reaction to that trauma? (Maybe this is what you are doing anyway, or part of it.). And comment on how Jesus' ministry interacted with/responded to that trauma? Thanks.

Thank you Franklin. This post is about trauma today not about 1st Century Gailean trauma among the poor. I do say a few things about this in a ms I'm working on in a book about Jesus and the Pharisees.
