Some Christian
churches teach
that Christ was
entombed on a
Wednesday
afternoon and
that He
resurrected
exactly 72 hours
later on a
Saturday
afternoon. These
churches view a
full three days
and three nights
entombment of
Christ as the
messianic sign
par excellence
given by Jesus.
In The
Time of the
Crucifixion and
the Resurrection,
Dr. Samuele
Bacchiocchi
thoroughly
examines the
crucial texts
used in support
of the Wednesday
crucifixion
dating. The book
offers
compelling
Biblical and
historical
evidences which
clearly refute
the
Wednesday-crucifixion
and
Saturday-resurrection
dating.
The aim
of the
book is
to help
Wednesday
crucifixionists
to
recognize
the
weaknesses
of their
interpretation
of key
Biblical
passages
and to
accept
the
trust
worthiness
of the
traditional
chronology
of the
Friday-crucifixion
and
Sunday-resurrection.
This new
edition
includes
five
chapters
dealing
with the
following
related
topics:
the
reckoning
of the
day in
Bible
times,
the
reckoning
of the
Sabbath
today,
the
meaning
of
Christ’s
death,
the
heavenly
ministry
of
Christ,
and the
sabbatical
typologies
of
Messianic
redemption
in the
Old
Testament.
Special
attention
is given
to the
heavenly
phase of
Christ’s
redemptive
ministry
and its
relevance
for
Christians
today. |
