Chronological aspects of the life of Christ

Jesus Christ entered into the history of our world. Christianity, therefore, has historical basis. The backbone of history is chronology. Whereas history is a systematic account of events in relation to a nation, institution, science, or art; chronology is a science of time. It seeks to establish and arrange the dates of past events in their proper sequence. Thus chronology serves as a necessary framework upon which the events of history must be fitted. In this book the author attempts to establish certain fixed dates in our Lord's life. Dr. Hoehner has gathered a vast amount of data, both from Scripture and extrabiblical sources, to support his conclusions concerning key dates in the life of our Lord, among them: The Date of Christ's Birth; The Commencement of Christ's Ministry; The Duration of Christ's Ministry; The Year of Christ's Crucifixion. He carefully documents his position and compares the date available -- including a study of Greek words, Roman law, and Jewish customs and prophecy. - Back cover.
