<p>The traditional Christmas story is a narrative that is vividly recognizable to countless millions both Christians and non-believers alike. In reality however many of our traditional Christmas images and beliefs (including Joseph's terrible planning) may actually convey a <em>flawed</em> rendition of Jesus' birth. Rather than an accurate portrayal of Christ's nativity what has transpired instead might be called a traditional greeting card Christmas story. This book will examine the Christmas story based on our understanding of first-century Jewish history culture and <em>most importantly</em> a reliance on the truth of the Gospels. It is believed that what will emerge is a story that is no less beautiful but one that is more biblically accurate...one that even demonstrates Joseph's WONDERFUL<em> </em>Planning!</p>
