In The First Christmas, two of today's top Jesus scholars, Marcus
J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan, show how history has biased our
reading of the nativity story as it appears in the Gospels of
Matthew and Luke. The First Christmas explores the beginning of the
life of Christ, peeling away the sentimentalism that has build up
over two thousand years around this most well known of all stories
to reveal the truth of what the Gospels actually say. Borg and
Crossan help us to see this familiar narrative afresh by answering
the question 'What do these stories mean' from the perspective of
both the first and the twenty-first centuries. They successfully
show that the Christmas story, read in its original context, is far
richer and more challenging than people imagine.
