Religion
Birth of Jesus, as assigned by Dionysius Exiguus in his anno Domini era according to at least one scholar.Georges Declercq, 'Anno Domini: The origins of the Christian Era' (Turnhout, Belgium: Brepols, 2000), pp.143–147.G. Declercq, 'Dionysius Exiguus and the introduction of the Christian Era', 'Sacris Erudiri' "41" (2002) 165–246, pp.242–246. Annotated version of a portion of 'Anno Domini'. However, most scholars think Dionysius placed the birth of Jesus in the previous year, 1 BC. Despite this, most modern scholars do not consider Dionysius' calculations authoritative, placing the event several years earlier (see Chronology of Jesus).James D. G. Dunn, 'Jesus Remembered', Eerdmans Publishing (2003), page 324.
