Robber Of Churches [1]
( Ἱερόσυλος , Acts 19:37). Sacrilege took many forms in antiquity (1 Maccabees 6). The plundering of heathen temples was indirectly forbidden to the Jews ( Deuteronomy 7:25; Josephus, Ant. 4, 8, 10). The Roman law held it as a sacrilege to be punished by forfeiture of goods, to steal the holy books of the Jews or their money out of places of worship ( Ibid. 16, 6, 2). (See Sacrilege).
