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.

Josephus As Political Philosopher: His Concept Of Kingship Abstract Scholars who have discussed Josephus’ political philosophy have largely focused on his concepts of aristokratia or theokratia. In general, they have ignored his concept of kingship. Those that have commented on it tend to dismiss Josephus as anti-monarchical and ascribe this to the biblical anti- monarchical tradition. To date, Josephus’ concept of kingship has not been treated as a significant component of his political philosophy. Through a close reading of Josephus’ longest text, the Jewish Antiquities, a historical work that provides extensive accounts of kings and kingship, I show that Josephus had a fully developed theory of monarchical government that drew on biblical and Greco- Roman models of kingship. Josephus held that ideal kingship was the responsible use of the personal power of one individual to advance the interests of the governed and maintain his and his subjects’ loyalty to Yahweh. The king relied primarily on a standard array of classical virtues to preserve social order in the kingdom, protect it from external threats, maintain his subjects’ quality of life, and provide them with a model for proper moral conduct.

If any would doubt Herschel Shanks' support for ASOR and its work mark this! His was among the earliest contributions received in response to our 1997-98 Annual Appeal and he was the very first person to register for the 1998 fall meeting in Orlando! So I urge everyone to give a serious reading to his post-mortem on "The Annual Meeting(s)" just published in Biblical Archaeology Review 24:2 (henceforth BAR). Like most spin doctors his "Rx for ASOR" (p. 6) and "San Francisco Tremors" (p. 54) are burdened with journalistic hyperbole, but within and beyond the hype he scores a number of valid points. However, while several of his comments warrant repetition and review, a few others need to be corrected and/or refocused. ASOR's constituency does indeed, as he notes (BAR p. 6), represent a broad spectrum of interests. These reach from Near Eastern prehistory to later classical antiquity and beyond, and from a narrower focus on bible related material culture to a broader concern with the full range of political and cultural entities of the Ancient Near East and of the eastern and even western Mediterranean regions. Throughout its nearly 100 year history, by initiating and supporting field excavation efforts, by encouraging scholarly and public dialogue via an active publications program, and through professional academic meetings, ASOR's mission has included service to all facets of this wide spectrum.

  • 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).
