Dates for the New Testament – Part 3

Dates for New Testament Events – Part 3

Dates for the New Testament can be difficult to find and stir debate, but that should not stop us from looking at the dates others have set. However, I am often asked about dates since we do not include them in the Grapevine curriculum. So, today, I am going to give you my personal notes on the New Testament Timeline Part 3 dates I use when I teach a class. 

I primarily use the book, Annals of World History by Bishop James Ussher for these dates. Dates can be added to our New Testament Overview studies or our Timelines.

Part three covers the time of Jesus crucifixion to Saul.
