The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus's BirthIn The First Christmas, top Jesus scholars Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan join forces to show how history has biased our reading of the Nativity story as it appears in the Bible.

In The First Christmas, top Jesus scholars Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan join forces to show how history has biased our reading of the Nativity story as it appears in the Bible. Basing their interpretations on the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Borg and Crossan focus on the inner truth rather than historical facts, and offer a clear and uplifting message of hope and peace. The First Christmas gives readers a fresh, deep, and new understanding of the Nativity story, enabling us to better appreciate the powerful message of the Gospels.

Marcus J. Borg is Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University and author of the bestselling Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, The Heart of Christianity, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, The God We Never Knew, and Jesus.

John Dominic Crossan is the author of several bestselling books including God & Empire, The Historical Jesus, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Birth of Christianity, Who Killed Jesus? and The Last Week, co-authored with Marcus Borg. He lives in Minneola, Florida.

"Borg and Crossan have given us new lenses through which to view the light of the Gospel accounts of Jesus's birth."

- Reverend John Bryson Chane D.D., Episcopal Bishop of Washington, D.C.--The Progressive Christian

Comfy Turtle Neck
Color: Light Blue, Size: Large
Very nice quality, soft and plush. Very tight turtle neck that holds its place without sagging. The sleeves are long enough to cover the wrist bone.

Not too thick and not too thin, the quality is good I just wish the neck fit a little firmer and it would be 5stars

Well made and comfortable
Color: White, Size: Large
The turtleneck is well made and very comfortable. It's good looking too! I have a similar turtleneck (from an unknown maker - tag is missing) that I've owned for more than 40 years. It will likely outlast me!
