Advent Adult Education Series: The Birth Narratives: Literary Overtures

Week 1

Great differences exist between Jesus' birth narratives found in the Gospel of Matthew (1:18 - 2:23) and the Gospel of Luke (1:5 - 2:40). Some scholars suggest that these differences exist because the two authors wrote their accounts as literary overtures, sounding themes to be developed later in their narration of Jesus's ministry—themes like Jesus as the New Moses (Matthew) and Jesus as Champion of the Poor (Luke). Over Advent, join Pastor Lindsay and local Presbyterian pastor, Rev. Dr. Byron Shafer, as they explore these claims and ideas.
