Summary

On today’s special edition of Family Talk, Roger Marsh welcomes best-selling author Lee Strobel to discuss his new and updated book, The Case for Christmas. Strobel shares his research on the plausible cause for the virgin birth, and how a study of one Greek word in the Bible sheds light on the traditional Christmas story. Isaiah 9:6 declares, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The post The Case for Christmas appeared first on Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.
