    For full show notes & information about the hosts www.leahchapman.org/podcasts/s8e14Scholars 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 censusThe timing of Quirinius' governorshipThe need for pregnant Mary to return to Bethlehem for the census at allSupport:Patreon: www.patreon.com/leahdchapman - Starting at $3/month!One-Time Gift: www.leahchapman.org/donateResources from Episode:https://inspiringphilosophy.wordpress.com/2020/06/01/a-defense-of-the-census-of-quirinius-of-luke-22/https://ehrmanproject.com/on-quirinius-censushttps://crossexamined.org/was-luke-wrong-about-the-censusLet's get social!Subscribe to our newsletterFollow me on…Instagram: www.instagram.com/apologeticssimplifiedFacebook: www.facebook.com/apologeticssimplifiedTwitter: www.twitter.com/ApoloSimplifiedGuests and their recommended resources may or may not reflect the views of Leah or Andrew.
