The life of Christ is the most important event in the history of the world. Every Bible student should obtain as clear an understanding of the leading events as possible and associate them with the places where they occurred. The chronological arrangement of these events is of inestimable value to any student.
There are about one hundred and fifty events mentioned by the gospels. In about a hundred of these events, there seems to be no difficulty as to their chronological order. In the remaining fifty, there is some doubt.
In arranging these events, we have pretty much followed J. W. McGarvey’s arrangement of events and dates. A number of maps have also been inserted to help visualise the location of our Lord at the time of these events. So often we read the names of cities and places in the Bible without any concept of their location.
