The Chronology of the Birth of Christ
Timothy Mahoney and Dr. Fred Baltz discuss chronological markers that help us to pinpoint the birth of Christ in history. They focus on two main topics; the census described in Luke Chapter 2 and the Star of Bethlehem.
Critical scholars have claimed that Luke is inaccurate for noting Quirinius as Roman 'Governor' of Syria when Jesus was born, thus throwing the historicity of his Gospel into question. However, are these scholars searching in the correct time? Further, was Quirinius in a different type of 'governing' role than is generally considered and are these scholars also looking for the right type of census?
Other important questions discussed relate to if Herod the Great's death has been dated properly and if there is astronomical evidence pointing to the Star of Bethlehem?
An amazing pattern of evidence is revealed, illustrating that Luke's Gospel is true history when one searches a bit later in time than most scholars are looking!
