King Herod Antipas (son of Herod the Great) lusted after his step-brother’s wife, Herodius. Herodius was bored with her husband, and encouraged Herod’s affection. It was against Jewish law for Herodius to divorce her husband, but she did it anyway, and married Herod Antipas. John the Baptist openly criticized their actions, and focused much of his criticism on Herodius. Unlike his father, Herod Antipas was a passive leader, and simply ignored John’s criticism. Herod believed John to be a holy man and was afraid to kill him, but was willing to hold John in prison. Herodius’ daughter, Salome (now Herod’s stepdaughter) was not so patient. She was young (around 16) and beautiful. Herod was extremely attracted to Salome, and she knew it. Worried that John the Baptist’s public criticism would destroy her mother, Salome devised a plan. It is not certain, but widely believed, that Herod and Herodius were part of the plan from the beginning. On the night of his birthday, Herodius & Herod threw a huge party. Salome asked to dance for the King and his courtiers. She danced veryseductively, drawing Herod deeper into her plan. Salome’s dancing pleased Herod so much that he told her to ask for anything she wished and he would grant it. Salome turned to her mother and asked, “’What shall I ask?’ And she said, ‘The head of John the bap- tizer.’ And she came immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, ‘I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.’” Mark 6:24-25. The New Oxford Annotated Bible Revised Standard Version. Herod did not want to break his word to Salome in front of his guests. He ordered a soldier to be- head John in prison. The soldier returned to the party with John’s head on a platter. Herod gave the platter to Salome, who in turn, gave the head to her mother.

  • 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.

  • The Synagogue of Satan
    THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN BY MAXIMILIAN J. RUDWIN THE Synagogue of Satan is of greater antiquity and potency than the Church of God. The fear of a mahgn being was earher in operation and more powerful in its appeal among primitive peoples than the love of a benign being. Fear, it should be re- membered, was the first incentive of religious worship. Propitiation of harmful powers was the first phase of all sacrificial rites. This is perhaps the meaning of the old Gnostic tradition that when Solomon was summoned from his tomb and asked, "Who first named the name of God?" he answered, "The Devil." Furthermore, every religion that preceded Christianity was a form of devil-worship in the eyes of the new faith. The early Christians actually believed that all pagans were devil-worshippers inasmuch as all pagan gods were in Christian eyes disguised demons who caused themselves to be adored under different names in dif- ferent countries. It was believed that the spirits of hell took the form of idols, working through them, as St. Thomas Aquinas said, certain marvels w'hich excited the wonder and admiration of their worshippers (Siiinina theologica n.ii.94). This viewpoint was not confined to the Christians. It has ever been a custom among men to send to the Devil all who do not belong to their own particular caste, class or cult. Each nation or religion has always claimed the Deity for itself and assigned the Devil to other nations and religions. Zoroaster described alien M^orshippers as children of the Divas, which, in biblical parlance, is equivalent to sons of Belial.

  • The Earliest Magdalene: Varied Portrayals in Early Gospel Narratives
    Chapter 1 The Earliest Magdalene: Varied Portrayals in Early Gospel Narratives Edmondo Lupieri In the early writings produced by the followers of Jesus, Mary Magdalene is connected with key events in the narrative regarding Jesus: his death on the cross, his burial, and his resurrection.1 At first sight, her figure seems to grow in importance through time. Her name and figure, indeed, are completely ab- sent from the oldest extant texts written by a follower of Jesus, the authentic letters of Paul.2 This is particularly striking, since 1 Cor 15:5–8 contains the ear- liest known series of witnesses to the resurrection, but only men are named specifically.3 1 All translations are the author’s. The Greek text of the New Testament is from Eberhard Nestle et al., eds., Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th ed. (Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 1993). 2 This phenomenon seems to parallel the minimal importance of the mother of Jesus in Paul’s letters. He mentions her only once and indirectly, when stressing that Jesus was born “of a woman” and “under the Law” (Gal 4:4). Besides using her existence to reaffirm the humanity (and Jewishness) of Jesus (for a similar use of a similar expression to describe the humanity of John the Baptist, see Luke 7:28 / Matt 11:11), Paul does not seem to care about who that “woman” was. This does not mean that Paul is particularly uninterested in Mary Magdalene or in Jesus’s mother, but that generally in his letters Paul does not seem to be interested in any detail regarding the earthly life of Jesus or in the persons who were around him when he was in his human flesh (see further n.

  • Women with Jesus at the Cross and the Tomb Bible Study
    Women with Jesus at the Cross and the Tomb Bible Study [Please provide : musical accompaniment; Bibles, hymnals, and copies of the Bible study for attendees.] Beginning with Ash Wednesday and for 40 days following, we are in the period of the church year called Lent. It is a time to remember the suffering, death, and burial in preparation for the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As we approach and journey through Lent, let us focus on the women who were present when Jesus was crucified on Calvary and later at His tomb. Let us begin with prayer : Lord Jesus Christ, be with us as we study Your Word, meditating upon those women who were near You at the cross and the tomb. In Your holy name. Amen. Sing “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” LSB 425 or 426, TLH 175, LW 114 or 115 I. Standing Near the Cross – read John 19:25-27 • Four women are mentioned: o Mary, the mother of Jesus o His mother’s sister – tradition holds this is Salome, mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee o Mary, the wife of Clopas – the only time she or Clopas are mentioned o Mary Magdalene The women took a risk by being present at the cross. It took courage for them to stand there in the midst of the hatred and ridicule. Their attendance was intended to encourage Jesus. Jesus’ mother, Mary, is experiencing what Simeon had predicted years before in Luke 2:35. As she stood there, her grief must have been nearly unbelievable.

  • 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.

  • Daughter of Eve, Femme Fatale, and Persecuted Artist: the Mythic Transgressive Woman in Oscar Wilde’S and Richard Strauss’ Salome
    MONOGRAFÍA Amaltea. Revista de Mitocrítica ISSN-e: 1989-1709 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/AMAL.51851 Daughter of Eve, Femme Fatale, and Persecuted Artist: The Mythic Transgressive Woman in Oscar Wilde’s and Richard Strauss’ Salome Corinne E. Blackmer1 Recibido: 1 de febrero de 2016 / Aceptado: 3 de julio de 2016 Abstract. Historically, Salome was a mundane figure who never catalyzed John the Baptist's death. However, in Christian Scripture, she becomes the seductress and fallen daughter of Eve. Her stepfather Herod promises Salome his kingdom if she dances for him, but she follows her mother’s wish to have John beheaded. In Strauss’s opera, after Wilde's Symbolist-Decadent play, Salome becomes independent of Herodias’ will, and the mythic avatar of the femme fatale and persecuted artist who Herod has killed after she kisses John's severed head. Her signature key of C# major, resolving to the C major sung by Herod and Jokanaan at her death, represents her tragic fate musically. Keywords: Salome; Herod; John the Baptist; femme fatale; Oscar Wilde; Richard Strauss; Symbolism; Decadence. Fille d’Éve, Femme Fatale, et l’Ártiste Persécutée: La Femme Transgressive Mythique dans la Salome d’Oscar Wilde et de Richard Strauss Résumé. Selon l’histoire, Salomé était une personnalité banale qui n’a jamais précipité la mort de Jean le Baptiste. En revanche, dans les textes chrétiens, elle devient la séductrice et la fille déchue d’Ève. Son beau-père Hérode promet à Salomé son royaume si elle danse pour lui, mais elle suit le souhait de sa mère qui exige la décapitation de Jean.

  • 1 Luke Handout – Two Herods Herod the Great and Herod Antipas, The
    1 Luke Handout – Two Herods Herod the Great and Herod Antipas, the Tetrarch Herod the Great (Luke 1:5) was appointed king of the Jews by the Roman senate in 40 BC and took control of Jerusalem in 37 BC after defeating the Hasmonean king Antigonus. He reigned for the rest of his life as a client-king of Caesar Augustus. Since he was the son of an Idumean father and an Arabian mother, he was considered a half Jew at best and certainly not a king in the line of David! Famous for his building projects, he expanded the Jerusalem temple complex; constructed the city of Caesarea, where Paul was later held in custody (Acts 25:4); and built or rebuilt fortresses such as Herodium near Bethlehem, Masada on the western shore of the Dead Sea, and Machaerus on its eastern shore, where John the Baptist was later imprisoned by Herod Antipas (Luke 3:19–20). Herod was notorious for his cruelty, killing three of his sons because of fear of conspiracies and uncertainty about his heir. When he died, his kingdom was divided among his sons Archelaus (Matt 2:22; deposed in AD 6 by the Romans), Herod Antipas, and Philip (Luke 3:1). The consensus since the end of the nineteenth century for the date of Herod’s death is 4 BC. However, several recent studies of the first-century Jewish historian Josephus’s many references to Herod, as well as of ancient inscriptions and coins, propose that he died later, in 1 BC or AD 1.

  • The Easter Verses of the Three Marys a Medieval Short Play for Eastertide
    The Easter Verses of the Three Marys A medieval short play for Eastertide This short drama is one of the oldest and most important pieces of drama in Europe. The written version dates from the 12th Century and is recorded in a manuscript kept at Vic in Spain. The drama is an enhanced version of the encounter between Mary and the Angel at the tomb on Easter morning recorded in the gospels. This play has been performed at Eastertime for centuries and is still has great power today. By tradition, the three Marys who buy ointment and go to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus: Mary Magdalene, Mary Jacobe (the mother of James) and Mary Salome. In this version, I imagine Mary Jacobe as the motherly, practical type; Mary Salome as younger, elegant, wanting the best; and Mary Magdalene as overwhelmed by grief and finding it almost impossible to go to the tomb but impelled to do so. In Spanish versions of the drama, Mary Magdalene carries a jar of expensive ointment, Mary Jacobe carries a broom, and Mary Salome carried an incense burner (small thurible). The merchant is an East End barrowboy, probably minding the stall while his master is away, wheeling and dealing to get a good price but also sensitive to the women’s grief. The angel is strong, straightforward, unshowy, his declaration that Christ is risen convinces and draws us in. The repeated refrain ‘How great is our grief’ needs to be carefully handled so it doesn’t become melodramatic. It needs to be heartfelt and spoken differently each time it occurs.
