Summary

What is the Historical Date of Good Friday? Was it AD 30 or AD 33? Some say Jesus Christ never lived or that his death and resurrection are myths. Dr. Taylor Marshall uses Scripture, Tradition, and astronomical data based on the moon and lunar cycles to show the exact time and day on which Christ died. As Catholics, it essential for us to prove that the Last Supper and the death of Our Lord are historical realities since they sacramentally come together throughout time in the Holy Mass. In today’s sample NSTI class, we solve the mystery of the exact historical date of Christ’s death for us and why it matters so much for Catholic apologetics.

When did our Lord Jesus Christ die on the cross and when was the Eucharist, the

0:06.4

sacrament of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ instituted this time of year when we get to

0:11.5

Good Friday and to Easter, all these experts, all these scholars,

0:16.0

come on TV, they write articles for big name magazines, and they assert, well, maybe Jesus was never really born,

0:22.0

or we don't know when he existed or when he actually

0:24.8

died or if he even rose again.

0:27.0

And so I've put together a video finding the historical date for the death of Christ. In other words, in what year, at what day, and at what time did

0:37.5

Jesus die on the cross. And from that, we can compute when he instituted the Eucharist and also when he rose from the dead.

0:45.1

And we can use scripture, tradition, church fathers, but we can also use modern computer

0:50.4

technology and also what we know in astronomy with the pattern of the moon.

0:55.2

That's very important as we look for the Passover meal and dating the historicity

1:01.6

of the death of Jesus Christ.

1:03.0

So you'll see in just a moment a sample video from the New St Thomas Institute.

1:07.8

I started the New St Thomas Institute in 2013 and since then we've had thousands and

1:12.2

thousands of students who have taken our courses and our curricula in Thomas Aquinas, Catholic philosophy, Catholic theology, apologetics, and we also have a three-part church history curricula which covers

1:26.7

the Church Fathers, medieval philosophy theology and history and then

1:30.8

reformation, counter-reformation and modern Catholic history and theology.

1:35.8

Also courses on the Old and New Testament.

1:38.6

And what you're about to see is a class from our church history curriculum.

1:44.0

So it's on the historicity of the death of Christ, finding the year, find the date, and also

1:49.0

the importance of us Catholics having a historical and personal connection to the events of the

1:56.8

passion of the death and of the resurrection of our Lord. So may you have a blessed and happy Easter and I hope this lesson is
