On our Commentary page Roy Halstead has uploaded a short book review. The book's title, The First Christmas, by Marcus Borg and John Crossan tells it all. Borg and Crossan take us through the Christmas story as told in the gospels of Matthew and Luke shedding light on the historical and religious background those first century authors brought to their telling of the story of Jesus.

Those of you familiar with Borg's and Crossan's writing will find the usual surprises and the refreshing ideas they bring to their biblical commentary.
