Quirinius, the census, and a date that will not settle
Roman provincial censuses are well documented, and Quirinius is a real governor with a datable census — but that census falls about a decade after Herod's death, and the two datings have not been reconciled.

Luke dates the birth of Jesus to a census under Quirinius, governor of Syria. Josephus places Quirinius's governorship and its census in AD 6 — about ten years after the death of Herod the Great, whom Matthew and Luke both have alive at the birth. Roman censuses in the provinces are well attested, and an inscription records an unnamed official who governed Syria twice, which some read as Quirinius.
And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.

This is an open problem, not a solved one. Proposed solutions include an earlier Quirinius command, a different translation of Luke's phrase, or an error. None commands agreement. We list it because a collection that only showed the comfortable cases would not be worth reading.
