Title: An Enlightening and Quick Read
Review: "Advent Of The Savior" is a short introduction to the Infancy Narratives of Sts. Matthew and Luke. It is divided into separate sections for each Evangelist. After the introductions, each division begins with a selection from the Gospel followed by commentary. The organization is to go through the narratives of Matthew in sequence, followed by the narratives of Luke. The commentaries provide interesting background material and citations to related Old and New Testament texts.The excellent job that Author Stephen J. Binz does in drawing parallels to other parts of the Bible is enlightening. One example is the comparison of the three days during which Jesus was lost with the three days that he spent in the tomb.With only sixty-four pages, this is not a thorough study. It serves well as a guide for a short study of the Infancy Narratives. It is an enlightening and quick read.
