A journalist investigates the identity of the child in the manger
Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? And how can we be sure?
In this fully revised and updated edition of The Case for Christmas — taking into account the latest research and studies — award-winning legal journalist Lee Strobel examines the evidence to separate myth from truth about what really happened in Bethlehem.
What can we know about the events of Christmas morning? And most importantly, who was born that day ? Some say the newborn child would become a great moral leader. Others see him as a social critic. Still others consider him a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the Son of God. But who was he really—and how can we be sure?
By evaluating and organizing the biblical, historical, and textual evidence, Strobel seeks the true identity of the child in the manger and analyzes:
-
The most recent research and studies
-
The historical reliability of the accounts of Jesus' birth
- All the prophecies of the Old Testament fulfilled by the birth of Jesus
- The most common questions about the Christmas story
Join Strobel as he invites us to move beyond the distractions of the holiday season to enter into the presence of the child who was born to transform us and rewrite our eternal destiny: the greatest gift of all .
