Friday April 3rd, 33 C.E.

I was recently reading an article in Bible History Daily which is provided by the Biblical Archeology Society. The article was titled: Is Jesus’ Crucifixion Reflected in Soil Deposition? A Geological Study May Indicate Earthquake Described by Matthew. A portion of the article reads as follows:

“According to the Gospel of Matthew, an earthquake shook Jerusalem on the day of Jesus’ crucifixion. A new study of cores and seismic activity near the Dead Sea in the latest issue of International Geology Review* may provide scientific data relating to the event described in Matthew 27. Moreover, some have suggested** that the new research on sediment disturbances can be combined with Biblical, astronomical and calendrical information to give a precise date of the crucifixion: Friday, April 3rd, 33 C.E.”

I enjoyed reading the article and found it to be quite informative. I highly recommend it and suggest that you read it as a reference or just personal reading. Moreover, I think that most of the articles in this source are very good as well. The link to the specific article I was referencing is as follows:
