Wise Men and Humble Shepherds!
Dear Friends,
Today's Christmas Eve commentary from Dr Ian Elmer will sit very comfortably with those who watched the documentary last week on ABC television entitled "The Star of Bethlehem: Behind the Myth" (it is still available on iView but sadly I've not been able to find other references on the net for readers in countries outside Australia). Like the documentary, Ian is exploring the fact and fiction — the mythos and logos — of the appearance of the Magi and the Shepherds in the Christmas story. Were these real actors in the Christmas story or is their presence meant to direct our attention to the meaning of the Incarnation?
