A Christmas You Can Believe In (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Christmas, they say, is a time for families, a time inspired by the story of a Holy Family long ago. But to the modern mind the story of that Holy Family seems so improbable. Our way of seeing the world has little room for choirs of angels, God-sent dreams, or a hovering star that works like a GPS. Who wrote this stuff? And how could Luke, the physician, seriously believe a young mother's claim that she had "never known a man"? Was he simply incompetent - the sort of chap who could misdate an Imperial census by fourteen years, or compose a genealogy that contradicted the "official" version? But first-century Christians insisted that "we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known the coming of our Lord Jesus" (2 Peter 1:16). This monograph presents evidence to support that claim - evidence that, for the most part, has been known for many years but seldom finds its way from the pulpit to the pew. It also poses an intriguing view of what constitutes a miracle.
