Breiling Publishes Comprehensive New Testament Chronology
John J. Breiling announces A New Testament Chronology, a comprehensive, day-by-day chronology of Jesus’ ministry and the lives of Mary, Paul, and the Apostles, drawing on biblical narratives, Jewish records, Christian traditions, and modern scholarship to bridge faith and history. The work is pitched as both scholarly resource and devotional guide, built on Breiling’s background in philosophy, theology, and science, and aims to provide readers with a complete picture of the world Jesus lived in.

Notable quotes

“Idque apud imperitos humanitas vocabatur, cum pars servitutis esset.”
— Because they didn't know better, they called it "civilization," when it was part of their slavery.
“On the whole, one would say that their strength is in their infantry, which fights along with the cavalry; admirably adapted to the action of the latter is the swiftness of certain foot soldiers, who are picked from the entire youth of their country, and stationed in front of the line.”
— Chapter 6
“All this is unauthenticated, and I shall leave it open.”
— Chapter 46 (last text line)
“Tiberii Gaique et Claudii ac Neronis res florentibus ipsis ob metum falsae, postquam occiderant, recentibus odiis compositae sunt. inde consilium mihi pauca de Augusto et extrema tradere, mox Tiberii principatum et cetera, sine ira et studio, quorum causas procul habeo.”
— The histories of Tiberius, Caius, Claudius, and Nero, while they were in power, were falsified through terror, and after their death were written under the irritation of a recent hatred. Hence my purpose is to relate a few facts about Augustus - more particularly his last acts, then the reign of Tiberius, and all which follows, without either bitterness or partiality, from any motives to which I am far removed.
“Viginti clarissimarum familiarum imagines antelatae sunt, Manlii, Quinctii aliaque eiusdem nobilitatis nomina. sed praefulgebant Cassius atque Brutus eo ipso quod effigies eorum non visebantur.”
— The busts of twenty most illustrious families were borne in the procession, with the names of Manlius, Quinctius, and others of equal rank. But Cassius and Brutus outshone them all, from the very fact that their likenesses were not to be seen.
“nisi impunitatis cupido retinuisset, magnis semper conatibus adversa.”
— The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.
