Nativity: Reflections on Matthew's Story of Jesus's Birth and Early Life

by Donald E. Burke

Matthew's story of the birth and early life of Jesus often is overshadowed by Luke's account that is filled with angels, a heavenly choir, shepherds and bleating sheep. But Matthew's account of the birth and early life of Jesus has its own contribution to make to our reading of the biblical story of Jesus's birth. Matthew has a consistent message that he conveys through this narrative. In this series of studies, readers are invited to reflect upon Matthew's story of Jesus's birth and pre-ministry life.
