Herods of the New Testament | Bible Study of Herod’s Family | Printable Christian Curriculum for Kids & Adults

Who were the Herods of the Bible, and why are they important? Before and during the life of Jesus, the Herodian dynasty ruled different parts of Israel under Roman authority. Understanding who these rulers were—and the roles they played in New Testament events—adds valuable historical context to Scripture.

This Herods of the New Testament Bible Study introduces students to the key rulers named Herod. Some were infamous for their brutality (like Herod the Great), while others were known for their political alliances or public influence. Each played a role in the backdrop of the New Testament.

Perfect for Bible teachers, homeschoolers, Christian schools, and Sunday school leaders, this printable resource helps make ancient rulers accessible and engaging for all ages.
