Jesus of Nazareth

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

At this time of the year, billions celebrate Christmas globally, not always understanding the day’s and festivities’ origin or history.  In fact, it celebrates the birth of Jesus[2], with Christianity being the largest religion in the world[3]—whose spread might not have occurred without Alexander the Great.[4]

To understand the life of Jesus, one might wish to watch a wonderful British program starring Robert Powell and a distinguished international cast, which aired in 1977.[5]  Few historical programs are perfect, but this one is worth watching[6], even by those who have experienced God.[7]

Merry Christmas to all!
