A Mistake of Timely Proportions
11.30.2005 by Tim Reed
When you start digging into the date of Christ’s birth it becomes obvious that someone made a mistake in the BC/AD line somewhere along the lines. In my research this week into the nativity story I came across the name of the specific person who screwed it up.
This mistake was made by an abbot of Rome named Dionuysius Exiguus in AD 52. His Easter cycle fixed the date of the birth of Jesus for the Christian world….
Poor guy, here we are 1400 years later still blaming him.
