Where is the historical evidence of Gentile Times Reconsidered on the web?

    I was talking to someone about the book The Gentile Times Reconsidered by Carl Olaf Jonsson, and the historical evidence about the 70 years that is presented there. I had studied the book years ago, and made a timetable myself and became convinced. My friend would like to see the evidence for himself so he can he make up his own mind. Is there a good, concise webpage that summarizes it, without getting too detailed? I will send him the link. Thanks.

    Thanks for the link. I have emailed it to my friend.

    Although I have read the Gentile Times Reconsidered, it was a few years ago, and I had to immerse myself in it for several months before I could reach a conclusion, and I made a timeline with all the information, and I could see that all the historical and Scriptural evidence lined up and harmonized. I showed my timeline to several people, but it was beyond them, and too complicated.

    I looked over the historical evidence at AF's excellent blog, and I can hardly make sense of it now myself because it is so highly technical. I am afraid that my friend will be overwhelmed and give up on it. I am looking for something less technical. Is there a webpage that summarizes the events around 1980 with Jonsson, Penton, and Franz, and summarizes the 607 BC./70 years arguments?

    Hi Steve

    Is your friend a witness? If so, you can't get more simple than Alleymom's KISS approach found here:

    Read the entire thread. She systematically destroys the Watchtower chronology in a simple easy to understand format

    Hope this helps.
