Here we go: the first of four!
In this highly compressed article, I discuss the scholarly discussion regarding the birth place of Jesus.
I am not arguing for any position. Neither am I fully convinced by any of the arguments. Cause The evidences are based on speculations and not on hard evidence. Meaning "X would[n't] have done this, so it probably did[n't] happen " types of argument.
Since I tried very hard to make it as short as possible, Some ideas may not have been articulated well. So If there is anything unclear, let me know in the comments. I will elaborate. You can also go read my primary source book "Escaping Shame: Mary’s Dilemma and the Birthplace of Jesus" , the first two chapters , for in-depth explanation.
The next part will be posted tomorrow. Hope you will enjoy :)
