AlbakiReads Editorial

A theological reading of the Christmas story

John F. MacArthur approaches the birth of Christ as a theological subject, urging attention to its significance beyond familiar seasonal customs. The book works through well-known Christmas passages line by line, addresses misconceptions about the birth narratives, and considers how those present at the events would have understood the child. It also argues for the biblical account of the virgin birth and connects the incarnation to Christ’s life and sacrificial death. The emphasis is on reading the Christmas story through its biblical and doctrinal claims, rather than treating it solely as a seasonal tradition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christian readers interested in the theology of Christ’s birth and incarnation
  • Readers seeking a Bible-focused study of familiar Christmas passages
  • Those interested in evangelical arguments for the virgin birth

Book overview

Rediscover the saving truth hidden in Bethlehem's manger.

Because of the warm fuzzy ambiance and economic impact of Christmas, Dr. John MacArthur is convinced that we are missing the enormous impact of the reality behind the season. In his usual easy-to-read style, he takes us beyond the tinsel and the seasonal hype to offer us an encounter with the miracle and mystery of the birth of Christ.

  • He leads us line by line through the familiar Christmas scriptures.
  • He exposes common misconceptions about Jesus' birth.
  • He helps us to see Mary's baby through the eyes of those who saw Him first.
  • He refutes attempts to dismiss the biblical account of the virgin birth as just another myth.

 

"We dare not trivialize or sentimentalize the persons and events surrounding the birth of Christ," Dr. MacArthur warns. "An authentic celebration of Christmas recognizes that the eternal, sovereign God came to earth as a human being to live a righteous life among His people and then to die as a perfect sacrifice to deliver from the wrath of God all who repent and belive."

Let God inject new life and meaning into your celebration of the coming of Christ as you use this simple volume to review what the Bible says about his birth.
