The Nativity: History and Legend
Geza Vermes, "The Nativity: History and Legend"
ISBN: 038552241X, 0141024461 | 2007 | EPUB | 192 pages | 2 MB
In a similar format to the astonishingly successful The Passion Professor Geza Vermes now turns his attention to the other key festival in the Christian calendar - Christmas. Vermes articulately and controversially disentangles the Christmas story as we know it, relating it to prophecies in the Old Testament and also to later Christian folklore, putting the nativity into its true historical context. This will be required reading for anyone wanting to know the true story behind the Nativity.
