For 2000 years the events surrounding Christ's birth have been obscured by legends, and myths, and intermingled with secular Christmas traditions. By thoroughly researching Roman history, Palestinian geography, Jewish culture, the author uncovers new fanscinating information. The facts themselves tell the Christmas story.
Full color and black and white photos give the book a documentary quality. Interesting and stimulating.
