Title: A great Christmas read
Review: CBS' special on the origins of the Christmas celebration and interviews with experts on Palestine at the time of the birth of Jesus impelled me to start re-reading Ricciotti's Life of Christ. Ricciotti drew on exhaustive historical data: virtually every cited fact is footnoted to original historical sources, frequently giving the Greek or Latin text of the original. Ricciotti objectively examines each textual controversy in the Gospels, yet never relaxes his own certitude. Every Christian should read this finest example of historical apologetics.
