Is Luke Wrong About the Events of Jesus’ Birth? Apologetics Simplified
-
- Christianity
Scholars and skeptics have pointed out several “problems” in Luke's account of Jesus' birth. This week we will dive into these problems. Indeed, there are a few historical points that even make Christian scholars think and have to dig into the history more. However, these "problems" in Luke do not give us cause for concern once studied. Instead, they're an opportunity to learn and do more research into the time of Jesus’ birth. When we do so, we see there is no reason to seriously doubt Luke's account.
Issues discussed from Luke 2:1-5:
The timing of the census
The timing of Quirinius' governorship
The need for pregnant Mary to return to Bethlehem for the census at all
