<< nwt-sty: date [Luke 3:1] >>

“In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar [], when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was district ruler of Galilee, but Philip his brother was district ruler of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was district ruler of Abilene, in the days of chief priest Annas and of Caiaphas, God’s declaration came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.” - Luke 3:1

By calculating the 69 weeks of years foretold in Daniel 9:25 : “From the going forth of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem (455 B.C.E) until Messiah the Leader, there will be seven weeks, also sixty-two weeks [7 + 62 = 69]” Following the biblical principle of "a day for a year" we have 69 x 7 = 483 years, which would bring us to 29 C.E. for the anointing of Jesus as the Messiah at the age of 30 as reported. The fixing of Jesus’ baptism in the year 29 C.E. also establishes the date of his birth as the year 2 B.C.E., in the fall.

"History is written by victors" - anonymous (often attributed to Winston Churchill)

"[History] is ... always mediated by the cultural presumptions that individual historians bring to the practise of writing it." - Thomas Holland, Historian

""What is history but a fable agreed-upon?" - Napoleon Bonaparte, French general

EXAMPLES

Tacitus: "Any trained historian can readily see that Tacitus' depiction of Nero as an insane despot is not an entirely neutral portrait of the emperor and may have less to do with the absolute truth than Tacitus' political agenda." - - Professor Mark Damen from Utah State University Logan
www.usu.edu/markdamen/1320hist&civ/chapters/01hist.htm

Polybius: "I would admit that authors should show partiality towards their own country, but they should not make statements about it which are contrary to the facts’" - [16.14.6. See Frank Walbank, Commentary on Polybius , Vol 1. (Oxford, 1957) pp. 11-12]

Josephus: "the need to please his patrons provided Josephus with an external bias that imposed limits on what he could and could not include in his work he regularly praised the roles of both Vespasian and Titus" - Eric D huntsman, Brigham Young University. Harold W. Attridge refers to Josephus’s Antiquities as a “propagandistic history.” - The Interpretation of Biblical History in the Antiquitates Judicae of Flavius Josephus (Scholars Press: Missoula, Montana, 1976), p. 181.

CONCLUSION It seems evident that ancient history is not entirely free from bias and that even our most reliable of writers had personal and political beliefs and agendas that influcence their work. As Steven Woodworth, Author Historian states: "All historians have biases (and so does everybody else). How it affects one’s interpretation of the sources depends on what the bias is."
