1. The Sadducee's- favored cooperation with Rome.
2. The Pharisees- believed that close observance of religion law would protect the Jewish identity from Roman influences.
3. The Essenes- Lived apart from society, sharing goods in common. Like many other Jews, they waited for God to save Israel from oppression.
4. The Zealots- Called for the violent overthrow of Roman rule. They caused a Jewish revolt, which began in A.D. 66, only to be crushed by the Romans four years later. That is when the Jewish temple in Jerusalem was destroyed.
