Notes on the Christmas story (1 of 4) - Bethlehem

1/20/2021

0 Comments

 

Over the past two thousand years, we have told and re-told the Christmas story so many times that details have crept in where they should not be.

In the next few videos, we'll take a closer look at the biblical narrative to see what is actually being said. People are usually surprised at what has been added over the years.

Resources

The website www.earlychristianwritings.com is a tremendous resource for documents that existed within the early years of Christianity. 

In the video, I specifically mention a document called the Infancy Gospel of James. Here is a direct link:  http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/infancyjames-roberts.html

A second resource mentioned is the book Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes, by Kenneth Bailey.
