Israel and the Holy Land With Historian Barry Strauss (Video)

In this 11 March 2026 published video, hosts Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster talk with historian Barry Strauss, who provides deep historical and geopolitical context to Israel and the Holy Land. His most recent work focusing on this region is the book Jews vs. Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion Against the World’s Mightiest Empire, published in August 2025. In this work, Strauss explores the three major Jewish revolts against the Roman Empire (66–136 CE) and how these civilizational confrontations reshaped Judaism and influenced the rise of Christianity.
Strauss’s analysis of the Holy Land often focuses on the “geography of faith” and the clash between ancient imperial power and religious identity. Strauss examines leaders like Herod the Great, who managed relations with Rome while rebuilding the Second Temple, and the subsequent failure of his successors that led to apocalyptic revolts. He connects ancient Judean resistance to modern-day geopolitics, viewing the history of the Holy Land as a long narrative of “faith, unity, and defiance”.
