King Herod: Mad Tyrant or Misunderstood Hero?
If you open a Bible to Matthew 2:16-18, you'll encounter one of the most notorious stories in any religion. Suspicious of a prophesy about a new king, Herod the Great tricks the Magi into telling him where baby Jesus was born, then sends his soldiers to massacre every child under the age of two in Bethlehem. It's a scene of shocking cruelty, one that has ensured King Herod's name is still synonymous with evil today.
