I think that the first thing that needs saying is that the purpose of this summary is to
demonstrate that there is a chronological framework to the Bible that certain Fathers
(certainly Theodoret of Cyrus) were aware of. We should thus not be asking ourselves
whether it is historically valid but enquiring into it in a purely scientific spirit with the
intention of getting to know better the elements and structures - in this case
chronological - possessed by the biblical authors, both New and Old Testament and
the Fathers. In particular, I'll attempt to show that a hitherto unknown life of Jesus,
with the Messiah born in 15 B.C. and dying in 35 A.D. at the age of fifty, is
sustainable.
