The infancy narratives of Jesus have enriched the
lives of believers through the centuries. These infancy
accounts serve as overtures to the writing of the
evangelists and as bridges connecting the Old and
New Testaments. They point back to the history of
Israel and forward to the ministry of Jesus, culminating
in his cross and resurrection. Advent of the Savior is
ideal for adult education and Bible study groups,
as well as for personal study and reflection on these
Advent and Christmas texts.
