Peter Richardson (1)Rezensionen

Wide-ranging in subject matter and deep in scholarship, this volume includes archaeological and epigraphic contributions, social and historical contributions, and developmental studies. Written by leading scholars in the field, these essays elucidate more precisely the social, historical, and religious character of Judaism and Christianity in first-century Rome.

Peter Richardson is a world renowned specialist in Herod. With an undergraduate in architecture before his theological and religious studies, Richardson is uniquely equipped to examine Herod not only as the tyrant who threatened Jesus, but as a complicated King who drove the architectural development of the 1st century Jewish world.
