> the nativity or birth of jesus christ is documented in the biblical gospels of luke and matthew. the two accounts agree that jesus was born in bethlehem, in roman-controlled judea > christianity emerged in the roman province of judea during the first-century. > since the roman republic's conquest of judea in 63 bc, the latter had maintained a system of semi-autonomous vassalage. the incorporation of the roman province was enacted by the first roman emperor, augustus, after an appeal by the populace against the ill rule of herod archelaus (4 bc  6 ad).  > with the onset of direct rule, the official census instituted by publius sulpicius quirinius, the governor of roman syria, caused tensions and led to an uprising by jewish rebel judas of galilee (6 ad). other notable events in the region include the crucifixion of jesus c.3033 ad (which led to the emergence of christianity) and in 37 ad, emperor caligula ordered the erection of a statue of himself in the jewish temple. > growing discontent at roman rule led to the first jewishroman war in 6673 ad and ultimately the siege of jerusalem and destruction of the temple in 70 ad,bringing an end to the second temple period. province of judea which is today part of israel & palestine why dont christians have the right of return to israel?
