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 --

Harold W. Hoehner was a distinguished biblical scholar, theologian, and author, well-known for his work on the New Testament and specifically on the historical and chronological analysis of the life of Christ. Born on January 12, 1935, and passing away on February 12, 2009, Hoehner served as a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary for over thirty years, where he contributed significantly to evangelical scholarship and education. His book, "Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ," published in 1977 by Zondervan, is a seminal work that delves into the complex issues surrounding the timeline of Jesus Christ's life and ministry. Hoehner meticulously examined the biblical texts, historical records, and astronomical data to offer insights into the dates of key events in Jesus's life, such as His birth, crucifixion, and resurrection. This work is notable for its rigorous approach to Scripture and history, combining theological insight with detailed historical research. Hoehner's scholarship was marked by a commitment to accuracy and a deep reverence for the biblical text. His work on the chronology of Jesus's life has been influential among theologians, historians, and believers seeking to understand the historical context of the New Testament. In addition to "Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ," Hoehner wrote several other important works, including commentaries and studies focused on the New Testament. Hoehner's academic credentials included a Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. from Cambridge University, where he further honed his expertise in New Testament studies. His contributions to biblical scholarship and Christian education have left a lasting impact, making his works valuable resources for those interested in the historical and chronological studies of the life of Christ.
