4. Nativity: Luke 2:1-20 - Backgrounds

Luke 2:1-20 - the "Christmas Story"
- Map study
- Augustus, Quirinius, and the census' date problem
- Christmyths Busted!
- Late December is an unlikely time of year given what we are told about the setting
- There is no mention of Mary riding on a donkey
- "No room at the inn" is a terrible translation that leaves an entirely incorrect impression in our minds
- Shepherds rejoice!
