King Herod and Christmas

Thursday December 15, 2005
In the spirit of the season you may want to watch a 27-minute streaming video called "Herod the Builder King," from The Archaeology Channel.
    "This video describes the life and times of Herod the Great, builder-king of Judea, who ushered in a new age for Judaism and ironically laid the groundwork for the emergence of Christianity. An enigmatic ruler "with larceny in his heart and blueprints in his veins," King Herod strove to make Judea a showcase of the Roman Empire."
