🎵 From the Lion's Den to the Star

In this unique hypothetical trial, ancient prophets like Daniel, eyewitnesses including a Persian magus, a Bethlehem shepherd, and Joseph, along with modern biblical scholars and astronomers, present evidence from both sides. The beloved traditional Christmas story — wooden stable, three kings arriving the same night, shepherds and wise men gathered around a newborn in a manger — is rigorously examined against the actual biblical record.

• Offered freely as an invitation to thoughtful reflection on one of the most cherished stories in history
• Balanced presentation of affirming and doubting perspectives
• Vivid courtroom drama throughout
• Concise (34 pages) and powerful (perfect length for a single sitting)
• Ideal for personal study, small groups, family readings, or sharing with seekers

“Whether you approach these pages as a lifelong believer who loves the traditional nativity, a careful skeptic, or someone standing somewhere in between, I invite you to sit in the jury box…”
