If we could transport ourselves back to the first century AD, would we know the year, date, day, and hour of the crucifixion of Jesus? Yes, we would. We may even have been an eyewitness. But can we know these time markers today? Yes, we can. In The Day Jesus Died, using biblical, historical, archaeological, and literary information of that century, readers will trace the time of Jesus' death to the very hour, of the very day, of the very year that the Savior was crucified. This is not some hocus-pocus pseudo-science. This is the real deal. Based on eyewitness, historical, and literary accounts and relying on the methods of telling time in the first century, readers can pinpoint the hour Jesus said, "It is finished." It's almost like being there.
