About this ebook

Aun las personas que no practican el cristianismo piensan que conocen la historia del nacimiento. Cada exhibición navideña muestra a Jesús durmiendo en un pesebre decorando céspedes y jardines y hay canciones sobre ángeles y pastores que llenan la atmósfera. Pero a pesar de la abundancia de estas referencias cristianas en la cultura popular, ¿cuántos de nosotros hemos examinado los contornos de esta historia bíblica? En su nuevo libro, Timothy Keller lleva a los lectores en un viaje revelador por el trasfondo de la sorprendente historia de la natividad. Al comprender el mensaje de esperanza y salvación dentro de la Biblia y el nacimiento de Jesús, los lectores experimentarán el poder redentor de la gracia de Dios de forma más profunda y significativa.

Even people who are not practicing Christians think they are familiar with the story of the nativity. Every Christmas displays of Baby Jesus resting in a manger decorate lawns and churchyards, and songs about shepherds and angels fill the air. Yet despite the abundance of these Christian references in popular culture, how many of us have examined the hard edges of this biblical story? In his new book Timothy Keller takes readers on an illuminating journey into the surprising background of the nativity. By understanding the message of hope and salvation within the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, readers will experience the redeeming power of God's grace in a deeper and more meaningful way.
