Judah of Gaulanitis is regarded as the founder of the Zealots, who are identified as the proponents of the Fourth Philosophy.

[8] However, neither Brandon [9] nor Hengel [10] support this view.
The Zealots preached that God alone was the ruler of Israel and urged that no taxes should be paid to Rome. [ 5 ] Several scholars, such as Gunnar Haaland and James S.
