Herod : King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans
Bok av Peter Richardson
Peter Richardson's biographical study of Herod (73-4 BCE) offers insight into the personality of the man who served as the most prominent member of the substantial Herodian family and whose rule shaped the world in which the Christian faith arose. Richardson reveals Herod to be far more complex and important than is generally perceived and demonstrates that an understanding of Herod holds great value for comprehending the relationship between Judea and Rome. Setting his study against the cross currents of Jewish and Roman culture in the first century, Richardson emphasizes the social and historical context in which Herod's life unfolded and evaluates the family matters, patronage, religious developments and ethnic issues that shaped his reign. Richardson details Herod's active participation in political events during the making of the Roman empire and his close association with such prominent figures as Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Cassius, Octavian (Augustus), Cleopatra and Marcus Agrippa. In addition to telling Herod's life story, Richardson recounts the legends that grew up around the man - including his responsibility for a massacre of young children in Bethlehem.
