When exactly was Jesus Christ born? Were the “wise men” present at the so-called nativity scene? How long did the ministry of John the Baptist last? On what date was Jesus baptized? How long did his ministry last? When did “the acceptable year of the Lord” begin and when did it end? Why did Jesus ride into Jerusalem twice on two separate days during the last week before his crucifixion? Was Jesus’ last supper the Passover meal and does the Bible teach that he died on a Friday and that he rose from the dead on the following Sunday?

Surprisingly many chronological facts connected with the ministry of Jesus Christ have been overlooked or misinterpreted by the post-apostolic church because of two Greek words that were added to a verse in the "Gospel of John" in the second century. The Timetable of Jesus Christ shows how this seemingly insignificant interpolation created an astonishing number of apparent contradictions in the NT, and how it eclipsed the Messiah’s timetable which is found in Daniel 9:24-27. When the interpolation is identified and removed, however, this timetable, and how Jesus followed it to the letter, will be clearly seen in the Gospels. The prophecy of the seventy weeks of Daniel has nothing to do with how long Israel would have to wait for the Messiah to appear, as so many commentators believe, but with how long his earthly ministry would last once he had arrived on the scene.

The author is assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas at the University of Oslo in Norway. This, however, is a purely theological work, and the first of twelve books in a series called Nanotheology. This concept is inspired by the word nanotechnology, that refers to the manipulation of matter on an atomic or molecular scale. Only by paying attention to the minutest details in the Bible will we discover how much of the greatness of God’s word we have missed out on, especially during the last couple of centuries, when the hermeneutics of suspicion has been in vogue in theology. Even though the Bible is the greatest bestseller of all time, it is poorly understood - for instead of reading what is written, most theologians have just projected their own ideas upon the text. Nanotheology is all about letting the Scriptures speak for themselves.
