description: A fascinating look into the truth behind the Christmas story. The story, recorded in Luke 2:8--18, describes how an angel announced to a ragtag group of shepherds that a Savior who is Messiah and Master had been born in the town of David. Was this a hoax? A hallucination? Or was it the pivotal event of human history - the incarnation of the living God? Join journalist and former atheist Lee Strobel as he investigates the Christmas story. Combining material from The Case for Christ with new research, he investigates the mysterious events surrounding Christmas and asks: is there any credibility to the accounts about Jesus' birth - or are they merely legends as skeptics claim? does history confirm a Roman census sending Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem? did Herod the Great try to destroy his supposed rival by ruthlessly slaughtering the infants in that rural village? The result is the perfect gift for believers that want to reaffirm their faith or seekers looking for guidance as they pursue solid answers about this miraculous occurrence.
