Andreas Köstenberger, whom several of us Veracity folks met a few weeks ago when he came to speak at the College of William and Mary, co wrote a book The Final Days of Jesus with the Gospel Coalition’s Justin Taylor. On this Good Friday, I took a peak at some 5-minute videos that the authors put out, walking through each day of Holy Week, interviewing different New Testament scholars about the significance of each day. An excellent resource for thinking about these final days of Jesus… a feast for the mind and heart!
Here is the entry for today, Good Friday, featuring one of those interviews (towards the end) with Andreas Köstenberger. Below are some links to the videos for the other days of the week.

I have been reading Andreas Köstenberger’s book, Excellence: The Character of God and the Pursuit of Scholarly Virtue. I can appreciate why he is so highly regarded in theological arenas. What a gentle and kind voice he has. His perspectives are very much in line with what we try to do on this blog. Thanks for the post!

John: I just found this from last year, but here Köstenberger argues for the date April 3, AD 33 (same as today) as the date for the crucifixion:
