According to Luke Timothy Johnson, NT professor at Emory University's Candler School of Theology, the Jewish population was about 7 million. It was made up of 2 million in Palestine and 5 million throughout the Diaspora. The figures are derived from general population figures, archeological remains, including inscriptions, and written histories.
