Herod Antipas in Galilee Literary & Archaeological Sources on the Reign of Herod Antipas & Its Socio-economic Impact on Galilee

The quest for the secrets of first-century Galilee has become an issue of intense interest in recent research. In particular, a growing interest can be traced in Herod Antipas' impact on the region's socio-economic stability. Was he good or bad news for the ordinary rural peasant population, and did his urbanization programme have a crucial impact on the Historical Jesus? Morten Hørning Jensen seeks to survey the literary and archaeological sources on the reign of Antipas with a view to determining its socio-economic impact on the region. He argues that Antipas' impact on early first-century Galilee was probably more moderate than Historical Jesus scholars have generally assumed until now.Jensen, Morten Hørning is the author of 'Herod Antipas in Galilee Literary & Archaeological Sources on the Reign of Herod Antipas & Its Socio-economic Impact on Galilee', published 2006 under ISBN 9783161489679 and ISBN 3161489675.
