Yes, there are six Herods in the New Testament. I’m not sure that has any theological significance, but does have some historical significance with respect to getting things in the right order and understanding who did what. And it may have some value in trivia game competition and crossword puzzle solving.
I started out to do some research on the subject with the goal of providing clear and simple explanations of these six characters. My search led to “The Good Book Blog,” The Talbot School of Theology Faculty Blog, and an article by Kenneth Berding, Professor of New Testament at that School.
His explanation was so clear and entertaining and short, with some humor, that it seemed the only fair thing to do was to share it. So here it is. Enjoy!
