Judaism and Christianity are both religions of history and
remembrance and rely on calendars and accurate chronologies to
recall and reenact the signal events in their histories. The import
of dividing the day and night, of knowing the moment of Sabbath and
Lord's Day, of properly timing Passover and Easter cannot be
overstated. Throughout the history of both religions, these issues
were central to worship and practice of religion and had
far-reaching effects from messianism to prophecy. But their very
centrality meant they were issues of controversy and debate. Roger
Beckwith looks carefully at the Jewish and Christian records
concerning calendar and chronology, compares, contrasts, and
challenges rival solutions to these complex questions. His breath
of research -- from the ancient Near East to Qumran, from Josephus
and Philo to the Maccabean writings, and from the points of view of
Paul and Jesus to the Fathers of the church -- and his focus on the
more controversial issues of dating make Calendar and Chronology an
essential book for any serious scholar of history, liturgy,
worship, and interpretation.
