Download or read book Hidden Christmas written by Timothy Keller and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Testament begins not with a dramatic narrative or lofty poetry but with a genealogy. Provocatively, Matthew's gospel includes women in Jesus' family line - something that wasn't customary in an ancient culture, where women were largely powerless and uninfluential. In this surprising take on the Christmas story, Tim Keller reveals how, by focusing on the women in Jesus' birth narratives, a colourful, scandalous, and refreshing tale of grace emerges.
