16. On a Silent Night - Ravel

What this episode covers

The birth narrative of Jesus we've grown up with is a creative combination of two different accounts in the Gospels. In this episode, we discuss the implications of the story and aspects that may be more allegorical than historical. For instance, why we find the holiday in December, how the manger scene changes with an understanding of ancient architecture, the Magi being guided by the "star", the virginity of Mary, and the character of Joseph. Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy New Years to all! We'll be back in 2021 on January 6th!Mentioned in the episode:Matthew 1-2 Luke 1:1-2:21Picture of the cave star (Emily)NRSV: Life with God BibleNRSV: Oxford Annotated BibleNew English Translation Bible on the Bible AppJoin the Ravel conversation on:Twitter: @ravelpodInstagram: @ravelpodFacebook: @theravelpodEmail: [email protected] the hosts on Twitter:Josh: @joshlieuallenEmily: @RevRettinghouseStephen: @stephenghenningThank you to Louie Zong for use of his song In Full Color, off his album, Here.
