Hi there! I've completed your deletion nomination for this article - you can follow the debate here. It's probably a good idea for you to edit the debate and say why you think the article should be deleted. Tevildo 19:40, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you participating in some pages that I am interested in, so I checked your usepage and saw that you are a graduate student in Medieval History. I am as well. Where are you attending, and what do you think / like about your studies? Lostcaesar 10:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I am aware of the argument that Luke's account of travel is an error, but I do not know exactly where to trace this. Actually, I looked for R. E. Brown's little book on the infancy narratives in my university library but it is misplaced somewhere. That text I believe would talk about it. I don't know what Brown decides, but I would be willing to bet that he talks about the issue and his footnotes could be tracked.
I did write the article and when I did, being aware of the more or less erroneous view that a Roman census could not require travel, I put a little bit in there about it. I was not intending to be overly arguing this way or that but, as is typical, when there is only one hand in a project it will undoubtedly take a bit of shape from its sculptor. Thus, I am glad that others are contributing.
I somewhat backed into this matter by (amateurish) interest in Roman times (wherein here it coincided with my interest in sacred history &c), and so I did not come across the arguments against travel, though I was not unaware. There is a related issue on the ownership of property in that one would have to postulate just what manner of property Joseph had in that region and, more over, if he had property why he would be staying in a manger. Its not a very difficult problem (property comes in all forms and, more importantly, ownership was familial more than personal, in my understand), but it is a related issue.

Was there a Wikipedia rule stipulating more than one reference to justify the inclusion of material in an article? I don't recall seeing one in the invitation to edit. I do recall reading a suggestion to discuss prior to deleting major sections of texts. The paragraphs you transferred stemmed from cited tertiary studies. Tcisco 21:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
