1. "Did the Christmas Story Really Happen? The Birth of Jesus in History & Legend", by Dr. Bart Ehrman


Four 50-minute lectures plus Q & A session - Retail Price $49.95


What is the historical truth behind the Christmas story? Explore the Gospel accounts, the Virgin Birth, and key details like the trip to Bethlehem, the visit of the wise men, and the "slaughter of the innocents.

  • What can we actually know about the birth of Jesus?

2. "Jesus The Actual Son Of Joseph: Evidence From The New Testament", by Dr. Bart Ehrman


Two 50-minute lectures plus 2 Q & A sessions - Retail Price $24.95


Was Jesus really the son of God or actually the son of Joseph? This course uncovers and analyzes accounts in Matthew and Luke, explores explicit statements in Mark and John, and considers hints in Paul's writings and alternative traditions.

  • Why do three of the Gospels explicitly call Joseph Jesus’ “father”?
  • Is it possible that Luke’s entire story of the virgin birth was added later?
  • Why did the belief in the Virgin Birth become central to Christian thinking?

Was Jesus of Nazareth the ONLY miracle-working Son of God to be born of a Virgin? Explore ancient accounts and examine other notable virgin births in antiquity, shedding light on their cultural significance and comparing them to the unique narrative of Jesus' birth.

  • What does it mean to say that someone was born of a virgin?
  • Apart from Jesus, who else in the ancient world was said (literally) to have a god for his father but a mortal for his mother?
