Context Matters

Nazareth's Role in Christmas

Episode Summary

Dr. Jack Beck talks about literary geography and its importance for understanding Jesus' origin story.

Episode Notes

It is Christmas time and we are discovering the fullness of the Origin Story of Jesus. Matthew and Luke tell us so much more than the moment of Jesus' birth. Dr. Jack Beck joins us again to talk about how the geography matters in the way we understand who Mary and Joseph are. This week we start with Nazareth. How big was it? Where was it located? Did the geography influence what people expected from life?
