"The story of the Christ child is the story of the most stupendous happening in the history of the world, for it is the story of God's sending His Son to earth. It is the story of God's action for man's salvation, for Bethlehem leads right on to Calvary.
"In this little book and with the simple and beautifully clear style of a scholar who is a master of his materials, Leon Morris has told the greatest story ever told. He has put aside all manner of detailed questions of interest to specialists only, and has put into language which the general reader will understand something of what he sees as he reads the nativity stories in the original. He has taken the ancient writings as they stand, and reveals what they have to say to us today."
