Cheney on Jesus' Manner

"A four-year ministry would also provide ample time to accommodate the many events in the final portion of Jesus' ministry, and is more in keeping with Jesus' usual manner of confronting individuals. His final tour, on which he continued to search for penitent hearts, was hardly a feverish whirlwind campaign through the countryside..." --Johnston Cheney, The Greatest Story (1996) page 275

This is not the most airtight support for Cheney's view, but it's the point that sings most to my heart. It's not the argument that convinced me of the 4 year chronology, but of his observations, it's the one I most love. Anyway, Cheney's other arguments are more substantial and much more defensible. They'll make a good series of posts someday...
