By Peter Ballard

Editor's note: The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the pivotal event of all history. Because of the way the details about this event are provided in the four Gospels (and elsewhere), people are sometimes confused about the sequence of events. Lay Bible scholar Peter Ballard has done an excellent job of putting the events in context. He focuses on the scripture, and adds his comments to clarify the sequence of events. Follow along with an open Bible.
