Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, Dr. Jon Pratt discusses the complex lineage of the Herods, their political maneuvers, and their impact on the New Testament. We explore the rise of Herod the Great alongside the achievements and paranoia that characterized his reign. We wrap up by looking at the big picture. The Herods were obsessed with maintaining political power, but their legacy cannot compare to the church's lasting impact. This proves that worldly leaders come and go, but God is ultimately in control.
