A FAMOUS TEACHER/WRITER'S THOUGHTS ON THE NATIVITY STORIES
Popular pastor and author John MacArthur wrote in the Introduction to this 2001 book that he wished to provide a fresh perspective and new insights into the "greatest of all births." He states that Matthew makes it clear that, although Mary remained a virgin until after Jesus was born, normal marital relations began after that time. He further supports this...

This book is part of the "Bible for Life" series of study books. It is an easy, fast read.
It is a good read for anyone interested in studying the birth of Christ. It provides details about the significance and meaning of the events surrounding the birth. From the announcement straight through to the actual birth and those that were there and those that missed the birth. Drawing from Hebrews Chapter 1, the book finishes with a view of the birth from God's perspective. Each chapter has its own set of questions at the end of the book to reinforce the material presented. This would be a great book for someone interested in a Christmas study.

This review is from: God in the Manger (Paperback)
Popular pastor and author John MacArthur wrote in the Introduction to this 2001 book that he wished to provide a fresh perspective and new insights into the "greatest of all births."He states that Matthew makes it clear that, although Mary remained a virgin until after Jesus was born, normal marital relations began after that time. He further supports this with the gospel references to Jesus' brothers and sisters (Matt 12:46; 13:55-56; Mark 6:3), which (to him) proves Mary was not a virgin for her entire life. (Pg. 12) He reconciles the differences in the two genealogies by explaining that in Matthew, the genealogy goes back through Jesus' earthly father, Joseph; while in Luke, the genealogy is going through Jesus' mother, Mary. (Pg. 20) He criticizes the "seriously erroneous belief" that Mary is the source of immeasurable grace, which she bestows on others. In fact, he suggests that Mary was just like you and me---she was the recipient of grace, not the source or bestower of it. (Pg. 32-33) He says that since the Bible does not explain or identify the star of Bethlehem, we can't be dogmatic about its character. (Pg. 102-103)

Exellent Book. Jesus was/is God. The whole bible is about Jesus being God. MacArthur takes you through it systematically and deep in it his simplicity.
