This notion was central to the theology of <strong>Judaism</strong>, particularly during the Second Temple period (515 BCE - 70 CE). We will examine how this idea developed over time, its implications for Jewish thought and practice, and its significance in understanding the complex relationship between sin, suffering, and redemption.</p>
