Summary

What can archaeology tell us about the story of Christmas?

Look at the individual elements of the Christmas story and examine the scientific and historical evidence concerning this, perhaps the best known story in history. We will separate fact from fiction, truth from legend and myth. Can we separate the commercialism from the true story of Christmas?

Examine the various elements of the Christmas story

How was the date for Christmas selected?

Was there really a census?

Did Bethlehem exist in the first century?

Is the story of no rooms at the inn accurate?

Why a manger?

Did the Shepherds have a more significant meaning?

When was Jesus presented at the Temple?

Was there really a Christmas star?

Who were the Magi?

What was King Herod like?

Was there really a slaughter of infant boys in Bethlehem?

Where did the Holy Family go in Egypt?

Was Nazareth on the map?

Where do the traditions come from?

Examine the evidence for yourself and separate the fact from myth. Get your copy of The Christmas Story today.
