Summary: Simplicity and Profoundancy
Review: Amazingly Dr. Hoenher evaluates the Pro's and Con's of many siginficant issues concerning the chronology of the life of Jesus, e.g. the day of the Lord's crucifixion; He does a good job and does not fail to do justice about opposing views. Truely this is a scholastic material on these seemingly tedious details.

Summary: Invaluable; a treasure trove
Review: Objective, balanced, packed with references. One of those must-have books. Even if you disagree with some of Hoehner's conclusions (like I), you will meet with one of the great minds of Biblical chronology. It is a wonder when you come across gems like this book.If you are interested in the date of the nativity, other books that will delight and perhaps frustrate you: both volumes of "Chronos, Kairos, Christos." These two rare books are simply invaluable to a researcher. Volume II includes David W. Beyer's hard-to-find essay which powerfully supports a 1 BC dating for the death of Herod the Great (contra Hoehner, who wrote Chronological Aspects before Beyer published). Beyer's work is so persuasive that it caused the late great chronologist Jack Finegan to embrace this new (actually, ancient) view. This new chronology is used on bethlehemstar.net.

Summary: Dates Please!
Review: This book has been in on my shelf for years and I find myself going back to it time and time again. This will make sense out of many of the dates that seem odd. The chapter on Daniel's 70-7 is priceless.
