ABOUT THE BOOK: Christmas in Those Days is a brief but unique study through the Christmas narratives in Luke 2 and Matthew 2. While walking you through the scriptures, Carroll brings out unusual historical facts, as well as the Jewishness of Jesus, changing the way you read the Christmas story. Was there a remnant who was looking for the Messiah when He came? What made the wise men travel so far to worship the Christ child? God was orchestrating the events of human history through certain places and people in order to bring the Savior into the world to fulfill the Hebrew prophecies concerning the first coming of the Messiah. Even though Jesus came into the world over 2,000 years ago, Carroll helps you to see that the Christmas message is timeless. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Carroll Roberson has been in full-time evangelism since 1985.
