- But what information do we actually have from his lifetime???
- He is probably not born when you think he was...
- Jesus is Born! (4 C.E.)[It isn't New Years Day]
- The historical setting for his birth would be first century Galilee and Judea under Roman control.The cultural setting would be of a Jew living in a low income Jewish community
