When Was Jesus Really Born? Early Christianity, the Calendar, and the Life of Jesus

When was Jesus born? When did he die and rise from the grave? What does the timing of these events have to do with Christian theology and practice for the last 2,000 years? When Was Jesus Really Born? explores the issues faced by early Christians as they sought to proclaim and celebrate the most important events in human history--the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Includes illustrations, appendices, glossary, bibliography, and comprehensive indices of Scripture, dates, and subjects.
