Quote from The First Christmas

The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Birth

by Marcus J. Borg and John D. Crossan

Harper One, New York, New York, 2007        258 pages 

The stories of the first Christmas are filled with light and fulfillment - Jesus is the light in the darkness and the fulfillment of God's promise and ancient Israel's yearning. Therefore, and not surprisingly, they are also filled with joy. These three themes - light, fulfillment, and joy - are not separate themes, but more like threads, woven together seamlessly into a whole. (p. 227)
