Mythicism is a controversial, alternative, provocative, fringe theory supported by a small group of dedicated, active and vocal scholars and mythicists who argue that the Gospels present a fictitious historical narrative. One such controversial Mythicist argues that Christianity began almost one hundred years after the imagined death of Jesus and was born out of a mélange of clashing second century religious ideas.

The Infancy Narratives is a term applied to the accounts of the birth and early life of Jesus as given in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Both accounts are concerned with showing the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in the Christ event. Although infancy narratives open two of the four gospels, biblical scholars generally assign them last in the order of composition, thus suggesting, that the passion story was composed first, reflecting the early Christian community's effort to make sense of the crucifixion of their Messiah. Next were added accounts of Jesus' ministry, and only afterwards did the infancy accounts evolve, answering to human curiosity about Jesus' origins.

An 84-year-old woman who was a pious fixture in Jerusalem, never left the temple, worshiping there day and night, fasting and praying. According to the Gospel of Luke, the Prophetess Anna appears during the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on February 2nd, marks 40 days after Christmas, commemorating when Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus at the Jerusalem Temple, fulfilling Jewish Mosaic Law for consecration of firstborn sons and the mother's purification, and featuring the aged Anna and the prophet Simeon recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and Light of the World, based on the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40. Also called Candlemas or Hypapante (Eastern Orthodoxy) or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this feast day involves blessing candles symbolizing Christ as light.

NEW feature of the Historical Jesus podcast called EXTRA which shall present the enthralling, riveting, epic STORY OF AMERICA. One cannot underestimate the importance Christianity and its powerful message greatly shaped the colonization of the United States of America. The Bible is the most significant book in the Western canon. It’s also the book upon which the post antiquity Western civilization was built upon, including the exploring and settlement of America by European nations. Although modern America is now populated by adherents to all of the world’s religions, as well as secular atheists and agnostics, one should never undervalue the key role played by Christianity in the early Judeo-Christian foundation and later development of the USA.

The Gospels are the primary sources of historical information about the man from Nazareth and of the religious movement he founded. Gospels, mean ‘glad tidings’ or ‘good news’ in Greek. These religious Gospels recount the life, ministry, crucifixion and resurrection of a Jew named Jesus who spoke Aramaic. Biblical scholarship regards the Gospels to be the literary manifestation of oral traditions that originated during the life of a historical Jesus and are a type of ancient biography, a genre which was concerned with providing examples for readers to emulate while preserving and promoting the subject’s reputation and memory.

Saint Nicholas was an early Christian bishop of Greek descent from the maritime city of Myra in modern-day Turkey during the time of the Roman Empire. His legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Saint Nick, better known as Santa Claus. Little is known about the historical Saint Nicholas. The earliest accounts of his life were written centuries after his death and probably contain legendary elaborations.

After the death of Jesus, his followers believed he rose from the dead, and the community they formed eventually became the early Christian Church. Christian doctrines include the beliefs that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin named Mary—wife of Joseph—performed miracles of healing and restoration, preached a message of repentance, died at the approximate age of 33 by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement for sin, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, from where he will return.

What was it like to be a shepherd over 2000 years ago? Tending flocks, with agriculture, formed the basis of the Holy Land’s economy, and sheep raised on the hillsides around Bethlehem may well have been destined for temple sacrifices in Jerusalem, only six miles to the north.

Some of Israel's great heroes were shepherds: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David. Both Psalm 23 and Jesus compare God's care to that of a Good Shepherd. But in the first century, it seems, shepherds, specifically, hireling shepherds, had a rather unsavory reputation. But what about the New Testament shepherds of Luke’s Christmas infancy narrative?  Books by Dr. Ralph F.
