Description
In the spring of approximately 30 AD, events in Jerusalem would alter the course of human history. But what actually happened — and how do we know?
Drawing on archaeology, ancient texts, Jewish tradition, and the latest New Testament scholarship, this book reconstructs the final week of Jesus’ life with rigorous attention to the historical record. From the pre-existent Christ of Jewish expectation to the Messianic entry that alarmed the temple establishment, and from the precise chronology of Passion Week to the legal irregularities of his trials, each chapter examines what the evidence shows.
Jesus had multitudes of followers in Jerusalem that week, so why did no one defend him? What was the nature of the Last Supper within its Passover Seder context? What do Roman crucifixion practices reveal about the Gospel accounts? What explains the torn temple veil, Jesus’ words from the cross, and the explosive emergence of resurrection worship within days of the burial? What historical evidence exists for the resurrection itself?
This is not devotional speculation — it is careful historical inquiry, written for curious readers — not scholars. No Greek or Hebrew required. No seminary degree needed. Just an open mind and a desire to understand the most important week in human history — up close, in detail, and in plain language.
This book is for readers who want to move beyond surface familiarity with the Passion narrative and engage the deeper questions of what happened, when, and why.
