NEW LECTURE SERIES:
Herod the Great and the Politics that Divide Us
Herod the Great founded a dynasty that ruled in the ancient lands of Israel
until the end of the first century. That period defined the emergence of
Judaism and Christianity as they are known today.
The political theologies of both those religions were formed in the crucible of power
in which Herod’s family was a major factor.
Our series will explore how living issues of political concern and division can be traced back
to the actions, policies, and aspirations of Judea’s last royal family.
