Paul of Tarsus

Category
Paul before Felix Agrippa

This arti­cle explores poten­tial con­nec­tions between Paul the Apos­tle and the Hero­di­an fam­i­ly, using evi­dence from the New Tes­ta­ment, ear­ly Church lit­er­a­ture, Rab­binic texts, and Jose­phus. It exam­ines how Paul’s Roman cit­i­zen­ship, influ­ence in Jerusalem, and inclu­sive teach­ings may reflect a Hero­di­an reli­gio-polit­i­cal ori­en­ta­tion, sug­gest­ing Paul’s back­ground and actions align with Hero­di­an inter­ests, rais­ing new ques­tions about his identity.
