About this listen

 What could be more familiar than the Christmas story--and yet what could be more extraordinary?

The cast of characters is strange and exotic: shepherds and magicians, an emperor and a despot, angels, and a baby who is Almighty God. The strangeness calls for an explanation, and this book provides it by examining the characters and the story in light of the biblical and historical context.

Bestselling author Scott Hahn who has written extensively on Scripture and the early Church, brings evidence to light, dispelling some of the mystery of the story. Yet Christmas is made familiar all over again by showing it to be a family story. Christmas, as it appears in the New Testament, is the story of a father, a mother, and a child--their relationships, their interactions, their principles, their individual lives, and their common life. To see the life of this "earthly trinity" is to gaze into heaven. Christian Living Christianity Winter Christmas Middle East

My only regret is that I didn’t listen to the book before Christmas! I’ve read it before, but listening was beautiful and the reader captures every nuance that Hahn pens. It’s a book every Catholic should listen to once a year - preferably before Christmas. It leaves you with plenty of Christmas joy with which to share and silently evangelise through how we celebrate the birth of Christ.
