Many people assume that the story of the baby in the manger at Bethlehem
is just another made-up fantasy for kids. In this concise book,
respected apologist Rebecca McLaughlin outlines the evidence that Jesus
was a real person, explaining the reliability of the Bible's
accounts of his life and why believing in a virgin birth is not as
ridiculous as it might sound. This book shows that there is a rational
basis for the belief that the world's most famous story is fact, not
fantasy-and how those events in history can infuse our lives today with
meaning and joy. Rebecca McLaughlin gained a PhD from Cambridge
University and a theology degree from Oak Hill Seminary in London before
working at The Veritas Forum. She is the author of the award-winning
Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest
Religion and a regular contributor for TGC.
