Joseph's Terrible Planning [B&W EDITION]: The Christmas Story Revisited - Paperback

by William Colin Marris (Author)

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 flawed 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, most importantly, 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 Planning!
