Summary

Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say He would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still, others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced He was the divine Son of God. Who was He really? And how can you know for sure? Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel, an award-winning legal journalist, searched out the true identity of the child in the manger. Just us as Lee makes the case for Christmas.
