Excellent...
Very clear and detailed presentation of the events of Passover week that led to the crucifixion of Jesus and His later resurrection. Shows that the period from the burial and to the resurrection was indeed three days and three nights (the sign of Jonah). This is in contrast to the traditional church view of Friday through Sunday morning.

Dr. Triblehom is an interesting writer with keen insights on Jewish culture built over years/decades of travel and research. As I don't live in the circles of historians, I find this type of data very interesting.

There is much to consider here in a review of Christ's Passion Week and I'm going to need a 2nd reading to absorb it all. Several conundrums are addressed, most particularly Christ's comparison of Jonah in the Belly of the Whale and Jesus in the Belly of the Earth (Matthew 12:40). Also of note are some thoughts which I had already come to myself from my own reading of scripture: 1) the crowd that hailed Jesus as the Messiah was not fickle and did not turn on Him before Pilate, a separate "mob", stirred up by the Pharisees. 2) The significance of John 19:31, revealing that Christ's crucifixion occurred on a "high sabbath". See Leviticus 23:1-5 and remarks by R.A.Torrey, during the 20th century, who was also interested in seeing the crucifixion as taking place on Wednesday of the Passion week so that Matthew 12:40 could be taken literally. Appreciation of The Essene calendar that adds a leap-week to a 364 day year to bring about synchronization with the solar year is essential to understanding Dr. Tom (Tribelhorn)'s arguments. (Previously the Jews had added a leap-month every so often to their otherwise lunar calendar to synchronize with the solar year.)

With all that said, I think Dr. Tom's arguments could have been "rearranged" a bit to make them more easily aborbed and persuasively convincing. The reader should "bookmark" the diagram on page 174 and return to it repeatedly during his reading of this work. The fact that we think of a day beginning with morning and ending with evening while the Jews (see Genesis 1) regard it as beginning in the evening and ending with daylight can be a source of continuing "confusion" when trying to keep things straight.

I have only began reading the book and I am very interested in Dr. Tribelhorn hypothesis and his conclusions.

While the information provided in the book is solid and very engaging, I am very disappointed to see the utilization of the corrupt Message "version" of the "bible". I call it the MESS! I would really shocked that any scholar would utilize that mess. I refuse to call it a Bible.
