The Liberation of Christmas

Meer over het boek

The book critiques contemporary biblical scholarship that often dismisses the nativity narratives as lacking historical foundation, viewing them instead as reflections of the theologies of Matthew and Luke. It also addresses how nonbiblical interpretations reduce these stories to mere folklore adaptations of heroic births. This analysis highlights the disconnect between scholarly views and the beliefs of ordinary Christians, who may find themselves misled by commercial narratives and media portrayals surrounding the nativity.
