Title:One of these christian oddnesses

"Based on the writings of Jewish scholar Flavius Josephus, Herod died in 4 or 5 BCE."

According to the evangelists Jesus of Nazareth was born when Herod was king. Since Herod died 4 or 5 years before Christian Era, something is odd with the calculation. At school we learned: "Jesus was born between 7 and 4 years before Christ" with the usual grin of the teacher.
