Everyone - non-Christians included - thinks they are familiar with the story of Jesus' birth. It is, after all, the stuff of Christmas decorations. In this provocative book, Timothy Keller takes readers on a journey into the Nativity we thought we knew, revealing its hard edges and scandalous grace!
:
One of bestselling New York pastor Tim Keller's most popular Christmas sermons, expanded and published in a beautiful gift edition.
The New Testament begins not with a dramatic narrative or lofty poetry but with a genealogy. Provocatively, Matthew's gospel includes women in Jesus' family line - something that wasn't customary in an ancient culture, where women were largely powerless and uninfluential.
In this surprising take on the Christmas story, Tim Keller reveals how, by focusing on the women in Jesus' birth narratives, a colourful, scandalous, and refreshing tale of grace emerges.
