The Chronological Gospels: The Life and Seventy Week Ministry of the Messiah. By Michael Rood.
This book is what we are using to go day by day in Jesus’ ministry, based on Rood’s research
on timing. There is a section that describes how this timing was determined as well as astonomical
data that determines the dates of Jewish Festivals. An important resource for our study.
