Many theologians estimate that Jesus wasn't born on December 25 but sometime in September between 6BC and 30AD.
???? Surely Christ was born at 0. He can't have been born BC or AD.
? No later than 4BC ?
"It might sound strange to suggest that Jesus Christ was born no later than 4 B.C. since B.C. means 'before Christ.' But our modern calendar which splits time between B.C. and A.D. was not invented until A.D. 525. At that time, Pope John the First asked a monk named Dionysius to prepare a standardized calendar for the western Church. Unfortunately, poor Dionysius missed the real B.C./A.D. division by at least four years!"
