Description

In Christmas: The Original Story Margaret Barker explores the nature of the Christmas stories and the nature and use of Old Testament prophecy. Beginning with Johns account, it also includes Luke and Matthew and the traditions about the wise men and their relics, the character of Herod, Matthews use of prophecy, the holy family in Egypt and the traditions of the Coptic church. This book also discusses the stories we get from the Infancy Gospel of Jesus and the development of the Orthodox Christmas icon, as well as the Christmas story and the Mary material in the Koran.
