Exploring the Nativity Story Contextually

The podcast discusses a live class titled 'A Manger Misunderstanding' that aims to re-examine the Nativity story through the lens of first-century Jewish culture. This approach challenges common misconceptions about what first-century Jews anticipated from a Messiah, prompting listeners to rethink their assumptions about the biblical narrative. The class encourages exploration of why the New Testament remains relatively silent about Jesus' birth, opening a dialogue around the expectations of the time. The goal is to provide a more nuanced understanding of this pivotal event in Christian theology.
