The Last Supper, Brant Pitre and Passover: A Hebrew Catholic Opinion
At the moment I am reading Brant Pitre's book "Jesus and the Last Supper". I was especially interested in his section on question of what day the Last Supper was celebrated. He is as usual very thorough, scholarly and certainly worth reading. He lists the major scholarly opinions about when the Last Supper was celebrated with many of the weaknesses and strengths of each opinion.
He makes it pretty clear that the Last Supper in his opinion could not have occurred on 14th of Nisan or earlier. In this regard his arguments are mostly convincing and I would certainly agree with him that the Last Supper did not occur on 14th of Nisan or earlier. I would also agree that the Last Supper was a Pesach meal.
