LaMar C. Berrett, Discovering the World of the Bible (BYU, 1973) on the Dates of the Birth and Crucifixion of Jesus

 In LaMar C. Berrett, Discovering the World of the Bible (Provo, Utah: Brigham Young University Press, 1973), 654-59, there is a chronology chart. What is interesting is that the author places the date of Christ’s birth to c. 4 BC- AD 1, and the crucifixion c. AD 28-34, showing that the author, in a work published by BYU in the 1970s, did not dogmatically believe that D&C 20:1 taught that Jesus was born AD April 6, 1.
