The Chronology Of The Life Of Jesus Christ

"...not much has changed since Jesus gathered dust in the soles of his sandals on Palestinian soil. He is still the buzz at barber shops and corner cafes. He is still talked about and against. He pricks our curiosity, sparks our imagination, and even earns our ire. Who is he, really? You know he's no politician, but he still transforms nations. He's no social activist, but he is the genesis of who knows how many hospitals, orphanages, and innumerable acts of kindness. A psychotherapist? Hardly. But how many of us 'Humpty Dumpties' has he put back together again?! This peasant carpenter has built himself a kingdom immeasurably greater than his earthly enemies could have imagined. What are we to make of him? Please accept my deepest apologies right up front, for this book will not help answer that question. However, it may help answer this one: What is this man to make of me?"

"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. Harold W. Hoehner. 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.

NOTE: This book is in RED letter format. The Words of Jesus in RED lettering. This is the story of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as recorded in the Holy Bible. This work is comprised of the events recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. There are a few subsequent entries from the Book of Acts and 1Corinthians which complete the full picture. The uniqueness of this book is the chronological mixing and blending of the four Gospels into a format resembling a story. The subject matter within this book is divided into fifteen parts each part containing one or more sections. All words contained within the subject sections of this book come from the Holy Bible, except for a very few words that are indicated by the brackets [ ] which have been added to obtain clarity and flow of the material. This book is by no means intended to be a substitute for the Holy Bible and specifically the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of these Gospels (along with every other book of the Bible) have been divinely inspired by the Lord God Himself.The intended purpose of this book is first and foremost to honor God and His Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. The secondary purpose is to provide a possible reference for further Bible study that reveals the events pertaining to the life of Christ in a complete chronological order. Placing the Scripture in this blended format gives the reader a more complete perspective of where the events occurred and how these events surrounding the life of Christ unfolded.

This 13 chapter book follows the events of Jesus’ life in chronological order. There are 154 individual events and each is given in order with appropriate Scriptural references in each gospel as well as background information for every event.

Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Drawing on computistical and astronomical sources from late antiquity to the Renaissance, this book demonstrates how pre-modern Christian attempts to determine the principal dates of the life of Jesus played an essential role in the development of historical chronology.
