Modern theologians wrestle with the precise meaning of the days for Jesus' death and resurrection. Traditional theologians support the concept of Jesus' death on Friday and resurrection on Sunday as the ultimate confirmation of His deity. This study addresses the theories of a Wednesday and Thursday crucifixion and Saturday resurrection versus the traditional Friday crucifixion and Sunday resurrection. Additionally, the issue of whether the seventy-two hours of entombment should impact the preaching and teaching of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dr. Fields addresses the scripture of Matthew 12:40 and how the present-day church should proclaim Jesus being in the grave three days and three nights. Our desire is for souls to be strengthened in the inerrant word of God.
