Would you like to have a chronology of the events in the life of Jesus? To fit the four Gospels into one continuous sequence and time frame? If so, this paper is a good place to start.

These condensations were prepared by Carol Morgan. They summarize the classic work by Alfred Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah. In it Edersheim puts the events of the four Gospels into a proper chronology. He also supplies much background material that makes these events more understandable. Most importantly, this material explains why Jesus had such harsh denunciations of Jewish Traditionalism in all of its forms.
