VV-115. Sensus Kirenius (Lukas Atau Josephus)
Dr. Michael R. Licona vs Bart D. Ehrman (21 Februari 2018) mengakui bahwa
Lukas mungkin salah dalam hal kronologi Sensus Kirenius.
Daniel Schwartz (Hebrew University): “It seems fair to say that the scholarly
concensus today, shared even by many conservative Christian scholars, is that
Luke is wrong.”
Riwayat Tobiad:
➢ “Josephus’ tendency to err in matters of chronology is not
limited to documents of a diplomatic nature. One glaring
example will suffice. The saga of the Tobiad family is placed by
Josephus after the marriage of the Seleucid princess Cleopatra,
daughter of Antiochus III the Great, to king Ptolemy V Epiphanes.
Yet, scholars en masse have rejected Josephus’ chronology,
placing the story of the Tobiads in the third century bce, at the
time when Coele-Syria was part of the Ptolemaic kingdom.”
(141).

SENSUS KIRENIUS: MEREKONSTRUKSI JOSEPHUS
Beberapa kejanggalan:
➢ Ketiga peristiwa itu terkait dengan pemberontakan orang bernama Yudas;
➢ Ketiga peristiwa itu terjadi pada masa kepemimpinan Imam Besar yang sama,
Joazar.
➢ Anehnya, Joazar (Imam Besar yang sama) digulingkan atas peristiwa
pemberontakan Yudas pada masa penguasa yang berbeda → pada catatan #2
(Herodes Arkhelaus) dan #3 (Kirenius) → James C. VanderKam: “It is more
difficult to understand why Quirinius would have deposed the high priest who has
just proved so helpful in making the census palatable in the Judeans.” (From Joshua
to Caiaphas: High Priests after the Exile, 419).
