"For centuries, we thought we knew what happened during Jesus' last days. Holy Thursday,
Good Friday and Easter Sunday are not only observed by Christians around the world,
but are also recognized in calendars and by non-practitioners as commemorating events
in the final week of Jesus' life. But apparent inconsistencies in the Gospel accounts
of this period have continued to puzzle Bible scholars -and fuel skeptics. In The
Mystery of the Last Supper, Colin Humphreys uses science to reveal the truth about
Jesus' final days. Reconciling conflicting biblical accounts with scientific evidence,
Humphreys proves that the Gospels, correctly interpreted, are in remarkable agreement.
He reveals the exact date of the Last Supper in a groundbreaking new timeline of Holy
Week. Colin Humphreys is director of research at the Department of Materials Science
and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of The Miracles of
Exodus (2003). He was awarded a knighthood in 2010 for services to Science"--Provided

of the associated puzzles caused by the apparent discrepancy between the Gospel of
John and the other three Gospels on the date of the Last Supper of Jesus. Colin's
solution is a new version of the old theory that different Jewish groups may have
used different calendrical systems together with a proposal that Jesus held his meal
not on the Thursday immediately preceding his crucifixion on the Friday but on the
Wednesday evening, a view that allows a more adequate period of time for all the recorded
events that have to be fitted in between the meal and the crucifixion"--Provided by
