RT Book T1 Between Rome and Jerusalem: Herod the Great and his sons in their struggle for recognition ; a chronological investigation of the period 40 BC - 39 AD, with a time setting of New Testament events T2 Orientalia Lovaniensia analecta JF Orientalia Lovaniensia analecta A1 Mahieu, Bieke A2 Herodes, I., Judäa, König 73 v.Chr.-4 v.Chr LA English PP Leuven u.a. PB Peeters YR 2012 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/667158162 AB The present study proposes a challenging new chronological framework for the Herodian age, a critical period in Jewish history. Not only do the rules of Herod the Great and his sons receive altered time settings, but the birth and death of Jesus are also placed several years later than is generally accepted. As a consequence of this the dates of Paul's apostolate are reexamined. Ostensibly narrow in scope, these modificationsentail far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Syro-Palestinian region at the beginning of the present era.Interconnections between numerous events are established and tensions within and between the Herodian and Hasmonean dynasties are laid bare. It is shown that Roman impact on the East was substantial, with a strong Hellenistic influence exerted on local cultures. Several customs of the Jewish and early Christian communities, hitherto unknown, are also broughtto light CN DS122.3 SN 9042924977 SN 9789042924970 K1 Herod : I : King of Judea : 73 B.C.-4 B.C K1 Herod Agrippa : I : King of Judea : 10 B.C.-44 A.D K1 Bible : New Testament : Chronology K1 Jews : History : 168 B.C.-135 A.D K1 Jews : Kings and rulers : Biography K1 Hochschulschrift
