This book focuses on the question that will be of most interest to
readers: Was the Birth of Jesus according to Scripture? It sets the
scene by outlining the debate between those who think that Matthew
and Luke devised their narratives on the basis of specific Old
Testament texts and those who think the Gospel narratives have
determined the choice and meaning of those texts. It helps the
reader engage with the material by beginning with the least
controversial topics (Jesus was preceded by a forerunner and was of
the house of David), then moving on to the importance of particular
places in the narrative (Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Egypt, Nazareth) and
the historical evidence for associating Jesus with them, before
ending with the most controversial topics (virgin birth and
slaughter of the innocents).
