Each of the four gospels frames Jesus in a particular way in it's beginning. Some do so with a birth narrative (Matthew and Luke). One does it without a birth narrative (Mark). And one does it with a beginning that is just different (John).
This Advent and Christmas season we are going to explore those beginnings. Why do the authors of the gospels begin their story the way they do? Why is Jesus portrayed the way he is? Why is the birth story told this way or that way or not at all?
