The Life and Times, The Brilliance and Madness, of Herod the Great, King of Judea
The world into which Jesus was born was very different from ours. It was dominated by the emergence of the Roman Empire and its spread into the region of the Middle East. One person who made a significant impact on that world was the Jewish king, Herod the Great. He ruled the land of Judea from 37 B.C. until 4 B.C. He gained the throne through his cunning, courage, and charm. He kept it through intimidation and murder. He escaped a thousand dangers, but in the end lived one of the most accursed lives. In this course, we study the culture and time leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ as seen through the lens of the life of Herod the Great.
This course includes 21 lessons on the life of Herod the Great. His life is chronicled in detail for us by the Jewish historian Josephus. It is a fascinating life full of intrigue, danger, success, and failure. Herod will be brilliant as a statesman, general, administrator, and builder. But he will be a complete failure in relation to his own family, as evidenced by the fact that he murdered his favorite wife and three of his own sons. He will come into contact with some of the famous people of his day including Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Cleopatra, and Caesar Augustus. That he successfully navigates the dangers of that era in history shows his brilliance. That he succumbs to rage and paranoia displays his depravity and godlessness. All in all his life is a grand soap opera and a tale worth telling. Herod's story has been all but forgotten. This course resurrects his life and examines it for illustrations that both instruct and warn. You will enjoy the story of this fascinating life.
