Overview

This guide provides an overview of the events and people in the life of Jesus Christ. It's a quick introduction that would serve as an excellent prelude to a study of one of the Gospels. An overview chronology of Jesus' life starts off the guide, followed by entries beginning with Jesus' birth and ending with his resurrection appearances. The guide covers thirty-one subjects.

Top Highlights

“Jesus was born during the reign of the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus” (Page 5)

“Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem for a ‘census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.’” (Page 5)

“‘Blessed’ is not the best translation of the Greek word—makarios. This word does not really mean one whom God blesses, but rather people who should be congratulated because they have an enviable place in life. The word ‘happy’, in the sense of someone being in a good condition of life, is a better translation.” (Page 28)
