title: Grandson of Herod: Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm
author:  Joseph Raymond 
description: Joseph Raymond was raised in a devout Roman Catholic family in St. Louis, MO USA and educated in Catholic schools. He received degrees from two Jesuit universities graduating law school in 1986. Thereafter, he served as a Department of Justice lawyer in Washington, DC but later left the practice of law to found an internet company. In 1988, he began a spiritual journey of study and reflection largely focused upon the origins of Christianity. Once started, the journey is never complete. He appeared in Jesus Conspiracies, a documentary that aired on the Discovery Channel in 2012.

  This novel of historical fiction uses as its premise the theory that Yeshua
  was the grandson of
  
  
  kings
  
  
  Herod the Great and Mattathias Antigonus. Proposed evidence for that theory
  can be found in the author’s 2010 non-fiction work,
  
  
  Herodian Messiah
  
  
  .
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The author wishes to thank Peter Fromm for his contribution in proofreading a
  draft of this work.
