Thanks to Carl and Jonathan for such helpful
comments on Lk 2:2. Last night I was doing some
reading and ran across an F. F. Bruce comment
on this very topic:
"Luke 2:2, which mentions Quirinius in
connexion with an earlier census, is best
translated: "This enrollment was before
that made when Quirinius was governor
of Syria." (cf. N. Turner, Grammatical
Insights Into The Greek New Testament
[ Edinburgh, 1966 ], pp. 23f).
This is found in Bruce's, New Testament History, p32
note 1.
My comment is that this is also the translation adopted by Nolland in the
Word Biblical Commentary on Luke.
