In Part 1, Timothy Mahoney and Dr. Fred Baltz discuss the census described in Luke Chapter 2 during the birth of Christ.

 

 

 

 

Critical scholars have claimed that Luke is inaccurate for noting Quirinius as Roman 'Governor' of Syria at this time, thus throwing the historicity of his Gospel into question. 

 

 

 

 

However, are these scholars searching in the correct time, was Quirinius in a different type of governing role, and are they looking for the right type of census? Moreover, has Herod the Great's death been dated properly? An amazing pattern of evidence is revealed, illustrating that Luke's Gospel is true history!
