One of the basic issues with New Testament study is knowing where and when events took place. Here is a chronology of significant events in biblical and secular history from Jesus birth in 5 BC to the division of the Roman Empire in AD 395. Nine appendices discuss additional details: the month and year Jesus was born; the year his public ministry began; the duration of his public ministry; dating of his death; reconciling his crucifixion date with Daniel 9:25; details concerning the apostles; lists of Jesus' miracles and parables; and a brief description of the Jewish War.
