Robert Eisenman of California State University, Long Beach argues that Paul the Apostle was a member of the family of Herod the Great.[4] Eisenman makes a connection between Paul and an individual identified by Josephus as "Saulus," a "kinsman of Agrippa."[5] Another oft-cited element of the case for Paul as a member of Herod's family is found in Romans 16:11 where Paul had written, "Greet Herodion, my kinsman."
