Abstract
O presente artigo emprega uma abordagem historiográfica comparativa que visa avaliar a plausibilidade histórica do censo de Lucas 2:2. Nenhuma evidência de um censo sob a supervisão de Quirino na Judeia antes da morte de Herodes pôde ser encontrada, contudo, há suficientes evidencias da plausibilidade história de Lucas 2:2 quando considerado o contexto mais amplo no qual se encontra o registro do censo, i.e. a natureza dos censos romanos, o sistema censitário Egípcio, os escritos de Flávio Josefo, o relacionamento de Herodes com Roma, a identidade e carreira de Quirino e a recente descoberta de um parâmetro romano de peso no território da Judeia.
Palavras chave: Censo, Quirino, Historicidade, Lucas.
