| Notes | Why didn’t Mary and Joseph go to Elizabeth’s house for the birth of Jesus? Why was the town of Bethlehem so hardhearted that no private home would take them in if there were no room in the inn? If the Holy Family was in a dirty stable, why didn’t the shepherds move them to their own homes?
In these four half-hour lectures, Dr. Kenneth Bailey answers these and many other questions regarding the Christmas story, providing fresh understandings of the well-known Biblical stories of Christmas in a way that everyone can follow.
