Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the House of Herod written by Sandra Silver and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-02 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE HOUSE OF HEROD is filled with the murders, perversions and the political machinations and assassinations that were the lives of all these first century BC and first century AD kings and aspiring rulers. The Herods were Arabs appointed by the Romans to rule the Jews from 37 BC to the Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD. The Arab/Jew conflict was in play long before then as it is now. Herod the Great who attempted to kill the infant Jesus is the Herod most people know. But there were seven rulers in the House of Herod: the founder of the dynasty Antipater; his son Herod the Great; Herod's sons Archelaus, Antipas and Philip; and Herod's grandson Agrippa I and great-grandson Agrippa II. Silver's book chronicles the muscular rise of the House of Herod and the ultimate fall into weakness and debauchery of the inheritors of the dynasty. For the first time in a single book a reader can follow the Herods as they interact with each other, with the Romans and with the nascent Christian Message that would eclipse them all.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Jewish Nationalism written by Doron Mendels and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superior account of the development of Jewish nationalism offers one of those rare glimpses into the past that can truly illuminate the present. In The Rise and Fall of Jewish Nationalism Doron Mendels combines his unique insight into ancient Palestine with a careful analysis of historical and literacy sources, from Josephus to New Testament apocrypha, to explore the development of Jewish nationalism within the context of the Hellenistic world. Originally published as part of the Anchor Bible Reference Library, this study is of interest not only for its brilliant discussion of Jewish nationalism during the Second Temple period but also because its subject matter echoes the thorny questions raised by the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks of today.

Download or read book King Herod A Persecuted Persecutor written by Aryeh Kasher and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enigma of King Herod as a cruel bloodthirsty tyrant on the one hand, and a great builder on the other is discussed in a systematic modern historical and psychological study. It seeks to unravel the contradictory historic mystery of the man and his deeds. After A. Schalit's König Herodes, this study is a new comprehensive, pioneering study on the intriguing personality of Herod, also using the insights of psychology. Herod's mental state reached an acute level, consistent with the DSM-IV diagnosis for "Paranoid Personality Disorder". He grew up with an ambiguous identity and suffered from feelings of inferiority. Haunted by persecutory delusions, he executed almost any suspect of treason, including his wife and three sons. The Hebrew original text was Winner of the Ya'acov Bahat Prize for Non-Fiction Hebrew Literature for 2006.

Download or read book Messianism Among Jews and Christians written by William Horbury and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Horbury considers the issue of messianism as it arises in Jewish and Christian tradition. Whilst Horbury's primary focus is the Herodian period and the New Testament, he presents a broader historical trajectory, looking back to the Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, and onward to Judaism and Christianity in the Roman empire. Within this framework Horbury treats such central themes as messianism in the Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, the Son of man and Pauline hopes for a new Jerusalem, and Jewish and Christian messianism in the second century. Neglected topics are also given due consideration, including suffering and messianism in synagogue poetry, and the relation of Christian and Jewish messianism with conceptions of the church and of antichrist and with the cult of Christ and of the saints. Throughout, Horbury sets messianism in a broader religious and political context and explores its setting in religion and in the conflict of political theories. This new edition features a new extended introduction which updates and resituates the volume within the context of current scholarship.

Download or read book Herod written by Peter Richardson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herod: King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans examines the life, work, and influence of this controversial figure, who remains the most highly visible of the Roman client kings under Augustus. Herod’s rule shaped the world in which Christianity arose and his influence can still be seen today. In this expanded second edition, additions to the original text include discussion of the archaeological evidence of Herod’s activity, his building program, numismatic evidence, and consideration of the roles and activities of other client kings in relation to Herod. This volume includes new maps and numerous photographs, and these coupled with the new additions to the text make this a valuable tool for those interested in the wider Roman world of the late first century BCE at both under- and postgraduate levels. Herod remains the definitive study of the life and activities of the king known traditionally as Herod the Great.
