This one can be a little rough to find, but if you can source it its a very good book. Lots of songs that are written in very familiar arrangements and range from secular to sacred. All of the Christmas standards are in there.

I called a local small bookshop who found my copy for me. Amazon looks like they have some used copies as well.

Bingo! Jesus was a radical who worked very hard to upend religious teaching, social stratification and popular culture. He was polarizing enough that the Jewish leadership had to make sure he was taken out.

There's currently a discussion in protestant churches that emasculating Jesus has caused men to walk away because they really don't want to be like the wimpy person they see in all of the literature.

The Renegade Gospel by Mike Slaughter is a good reference on the subject. Mike wants christians to radicalize (in positive ways)

u/Papa_Rex · 1 pointr/Reformed

I've used this devotional by Paul David Tripp during advent the past two years, and I'm really excited to get back into it again!

I also have used this by John Piper as well.

Might try to find a different devotional this year though.

There are four others that I know of. There is the Foxfire Christmas book, Cook book, Simple living, and Stories. I know you can get them on amazon or at the Foxifire fund website. I wish there were other book series that almost act like an encyclopedia of the area. Also who ever designed the 12th book needs to be slapped. Why would you suddenly put the number in the middle of the spine when every other one was at the top.

u/extispicy · 1 pointr/AcademicBiblical

I'm not one of the scholars here, but I happened to read the magi chapter from Geza Vermes' "The Nativity: History and Legend" just last night so this is fresh in my mind. Overall, I think you would find the majority of NT scholars consider the story of the magi entirely fictional (it never says there were three, by the way, that's a tradition based on the number of gifts).

  • Magi are typically shown in a negative light as sorcerers, except for Balaam who foretells about a star rising out of Jacob. This is in line with Matthew's tendency to incorporate "prophecies" at every turn (Numbers 24:17):
    > I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near—a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel;

  • Telling about celestial events signalling the birth of someone important was a common narrative element.
    > Eusebius: "In the case of remarkable and famous men we know that strange stars have appeared, what some call comets or meteors or tails of fire, or similar phenomena that are seen in connection with great and unusual events."

  • Just prior to the time the gospels were written, King Tiridates of Armenia visited Rome to worship Nero, and coincidentally returned home by a different route.

  • These are some of the many non-Jewish characters Matthew introduces in his story.
u/ukulelefan · 2 pointsr/Christianity

I am currently reading Free of Charge. It's about forgiveness from the Christian perspective. Why and how should we forgive? It's written by Miroslav Volf, a theologian at Yale. So far it's interesting.

u/cuspid · 5 pointsr/latterdaysaints

I really enjoyed his book about the way Sunday Sabbath observance developed in Christianity throughout the world. It really made me reexamine the traditions I practiced at the time. I highly recommend the book.

u/MacDancer · 3 pointsr/BALLET

The original story is much more interesting (and a little creepy).

If you really wanna do your homework, consider reading Nutcracker Nation. Might be a bit more than you're looking for, but there's a lot of interesting information there.

u/LCNite · 2 pointsr/latterdaysaints

I was listening to a podcast last year and I made note of this book as I thought it might help me fight just this feeling. I don't know if it will help or not (as it is commercial just to buy it of course) but I hope perhaps it might provide some ideas for you: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1609078993/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3MW2NJC6OIC6U&coliid=I2DC0OX1FGQRD1

You could try the Oxford Companion to Philosophy.
Frederick Copleston wrote a fantastic history of philosophy in 11 volumes.
Anthony Kenny has done a somewhat more concise history.
Brian Magee has done it in one volume

Will Durant is also a good bet and a segue into history.

Read a People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn and/or Lies my History Teacher told Me.

Guns, Germs, and Steel is also good.

Read some theology. Not many people do. Try Rowan Williams. I'd recommend his Resurrection, but he's also written a book on Dostoevsky.

Read Dostoevsky. Crime and Punishment. Notes from the Underground. Brothers Karamazov. Take your pick.

Might check out Edward Said's Orientalism. Maybe some Foucault.

Learn about economics. Naked Economics is a good start. Hazlitt's Economics in one lesson is also popular.

u/cofused1 · 2 pointsr/Reformed

Keeping the Sabbath Wholly by Marva Dawn (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QPHNSA/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1). I was introduced to it a few weeks ago at a weekend retreat about resting. Really liked the parts of it I read.

u/brojangles · 12 pointsr/AcademicBiblical


Just a few:

The Nativity: History and Legend by Geza Vermes

The Historical Figure of Jesus by EP Sanders (discusses the ahistoricity of the nativities in detail).

The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings by Bart Ehrman.

The First Christmas by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan

Excavating Jesus by John Domic Crossan and Jonathan L. Reed

The Star of Bethlehem: A Skeptical View by Aaron Adair.

u/Preacher_Generic · 2 pointsr/atheism

I attended a lecture by the author of this book just the other day. He makes a pretty damn convincing case for the opposition of Christmas.

u/mywordswillgowithyou · 1 pointr/occult

I have found this short little book by Manly Hall to give a satisfactory, if not brief version of the occult symbolism of Christmas.
