Publisher's Synopsis
This important study brings to the attention of Christian and Jewish scholars long-neglected historical background regarding the timetable and events of Passion Week. The study concentrates on critical matters of that week, and documents unexpected identities of dramatis personae, including the Beloved Disciple. The work also authoritatively discusses the restrictions placed by the administration of the perimeter city gates on the movements on all Jews in Jerusalem, including Jesus and his followers, from sunset Thursday until sunrise Sunday, and including the night of the Passion.
