FREDERICK W. FABER Christians since the very beginning have been “persecuted for righteousness’ sake” (Matt. 5:10). They have been arrested, imprisoned and executed because they took a stand against evil and made a faithful testimony for the Gospel of Jesus. Some of their stories are well-known. Sir Thomas More was imprisoned in the Tower of London and finally beheaded for daring to oppose the annulment of King Henry VIII’s marriage. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was arrested by Hitler’s Gestapo and kept at Tegel Prison in Berlin for rescuing Jews. More recently, Pastor Yang Hua was imprisoned in China for his Christian witness. In varying degrees, all these men were able to make some written or oral testimony of faith while imprisoned. Countless other Christians had no such opportunity, though they are not forgotten by God! The apostle Paul spent the final years of his life in prison because his witness about Jesus to the Gentiles had stirred the ire of his Jewish compatriots.

  • John the Baptist According to Flavius Josephus, and His Incorporation in the Christian Tradition
    JOHN THE BAPTIST ACCORDING TO FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS, AND HIS INCORPORATION IN THE CHRISTIAN TRADITION Johannes Tromp In Jewish Antiquities 18.116-119, Flavius Josephus includes a section on John the Baptist. His reason for including it was that it contained a widely circulating explanation for the victory of the Nabatean king Aretas over the tetrarch Herod Antipas. 1 In my translation, it reads as follows: 116. Some Jews believed that the army of Herod was destroyed by God, who quite rightly avenged the fate of John, surnamed the Baptist. 117. For Herod had John killed, although he had been a good man. He had asked the Jews to lead a virtuous life and to come together for baptism,2 while practising righteousness towards each other, and piety towards God. In this way, it seemed to him, was baptism acceptable: they should not use it to obtain forgiveness for the sins they had committed, but as a purification of the body, inasmuch as their soul had already been cleansed beforehand by righteousness. 118. When others joined them-for they became highly agitated by his preaching-Herod feared his influence on people to be so great that it might lead to some uprising; for they seemed to be doing everything according to his advice. Therefore Herod decided that it would be much better to take the initiative to have him killed before he was able to cause some revolution, than to get involved in matters once the revolt had begun, and then be sorry. 119. Because of Herod's apprehension,John was sent in chains to the aforementioned fortress of Machaerus and killed there.

  • Absolute Dating of John the Baptist, the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and Paul the Apostle
    Absolute Dating of John the Baptist, the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and Paul the Apostle Rainer Walter Kühne Bürgerstr. 4, 38118 Braunschweig, Germany e-mail: [email protected] I suggest the following scenario. In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius (14-37), that is late in 28 or early in 29, John began to preach a baptism. Jesus healed and preached and was crucified on the Preparation Day, Friday 3 April 33 during a lunar eclipse. Thereafter the apostles began to preach and raising the number of believers from 120 to 5000. This caused a persecution where Saul converted to Paul late in 33. Afterwards Paul spent three years in Damascus, where Aretas IV was king. Thereafter Paul did his first travel which lasted for fourteen years, that is 36-50. This was followed by the council of the apostles late in 50. Thereafter Paul did his second travel which lasted for at least a year and six months. Then he did his third travel which lasted for at least two years and six months, that is 52-54. Afterwards he was imprisoned for two years by Antonius Felix until Porcius Festus became procurator of Judaea in 56. There is general agreement that Jesus Christ was a historical person. Experts differ in dating his crucifixion (between 27 and 34) and the council of the apostles (between 48 and 51). Here I would like to investigate these two open questions. In his Ioudaike archaiologia historian Josephus Flavius mentioned John the Baptist (Antiquitates Judaicae 18.5.2). He mentioned also that James, the brother of Jesus called Christus, was executed in 62 (Antiquitates Judaicae 20.200).

  • Tiberius, the Emperor of Rome. Pontius Pilate, the Governor of Judea
    VIPs The Second Sunday of Advent Luke 3:1-7 Tiberius, the Emperor of Rome. Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea. Herod, the ruler of Galilee. Philip, ruler of Ituraea and Trachonitis. Lysanias, ruler of Abilene. Annas and Caiaphas, high priests of Jerusalem. If we’re honest, it’s hard to care about who was in charge of what in the first century, especially when those names read like extraneous details—a kind of prelude to the rest of the story. To our brothers and sisters of the first century, our indifference would have been nothing short of unfathomable. To them, those men are the story. As emperor, Tiberius is the one whom everyone worships, a sort of demigod of peace and prosperity. Pontius Pilate’s clout and authority stems from his world as the emperor’s envoy in Judea. Herod, Philip, and Lysanias are Pilate’s local emissaries, and therefore they are also held in high esteem. Lastly, Annas and Caiaphas are the ones to whom Jews in the region followed and trusted for matters spiritual and practical. Together, these 7 men are the ones everyone expects to be be inked into the annals of history and carved into the porticos of temples and marketplaces. That John the Baptist is the one we remember most today would have been nothing short of offensive to them. John doesn’t have the blue-blood lineage or socially esteemed position of the others. What he has is a reputation for endless bad hair days and dinners of dried, crusty bugs. On top of that, much of his adulthood has been spent in the barren and lifeless wilderness— a place of low expectations, A place most people avoid, a place where God often seems silent.

  • Luke 23:4-11 Pilate to Herod and Back Crossroads: Traveling with Our Savior #6 March 12, 2008 Then Pilate Announced to the Chief
    Luke 23:4-11 Pilate to Herod and Back Crossroads: Traveling with Our Savior #6 March 12, 2008 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.” On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for along time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform some miracle. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. (NIV) Have you ever had a once-in-a-lifetime chance and blown it? Maybe you didn’t even realize at the time what you had, and as a result you spent your opportunity on worthless things—and now it’s too late. This evening Herod has just such an opportunity—and blows it. The crossroad Jesus walks this evening is a short one—maybe a mile or so round- trip. It begins at Pontius Pilate’s palace, where Pilate has had an unpleasant start to his day.

  • Asko Sahlberg's Herodes
    Mika Hallila Uniwersytet Warszawski Retelling Salome: Asko Sahlberg’s Herodes Abstract: The article presents an analysis on the retelling of the story of the Princess Salome in a contemporary Finnish novel, Herodes (2013) by Asko Sahlberg. In the analysis, Salome’s story is considered as an outlandish narrative of an outlandish character that has interested people through history, and especially in the modern era. Sahlberg’s narrative of Salome is contextualized within some of the most known versions of Salome’s story such as the Gospels, and the play of Oscar Wilde. Eventually, the aim is to point out how and to what ends the rewriting of the story of Salome is done in this novel. Keywords: Salome, retelling, rewriting, outlandish, Finnish literature, contemporary novel The topic of this article is one of the most famous female characters of the biblical stories: I will analyze the story of the Princess Salome. The main focus of the analysis is on the retelling of the story of Salome in one contemporary Finnish novel, Herodes (2013) by Asko Sahlberg. I am asking how and to what ends the story is retold in this novel. When analyzing Sahlberg’s novel, I will especially focus on the narrator–protagonist Herod Antipas as his voice and his point of view make a particular change in the story of the Princess Salome. The key concepts formulated in the analysis are the ideas of retelling and rewriting, and outlandishness; as shown here, the Princess Salome is an outlandish character whose mystery has remained unsolved through history. The representation of the Princess in Sahlberg’s novel is, hence, part of a long tradition of the interpretations and reinterpretations of the well-known historical narrative which took place at the beginning of Christianity.
