Unwrap Christmas

A mini-course for groups in three sessions exploring the original history of Jesus’ birth — with videos filmed in the Holy Land, and reflection questions at different levels.

Our modern Christmas celebrations can obscure the significance of the original event. Some even doubt its rootedness in real history.

With this three-part series, filmed on location in the Holy Land, your group will discover the facts, see the places and be given many new insights to discuss with each other.

Available entirely as a digital download for the leader today. Contents:

• 3 video sessions: Nazareth, Bethlehem (Part I) and Bethlehem (Part II)
• Enquirers' Questions and Leaders' Guides: small group discussions for those new to church
• Deeper Questions and Leaders' Guides: small group discussions for church-based settings and those looking to go deeper

The Journey
Guided by Dr Peter Walker—a Bible teacher, academic theologian and expert on the history of the Holy Land—we will travel over three weeks from Nazareth to Bethlehem. We will see the likely site of Jesus’ childhood home, the shepherds’ fields below Bethlehem (known by the young David 1000 years earlier), and finally arrive into Manger Square to discover the traditional site of Jesus’ birth.

The Resource 
Designed for use either in small groups or as a central church-based course, each session comes with discussion questions at two levels: for those enquiring into the Christian faith as well as for believers seeking to go deeper.

See Christmas through fresh eyes this year with Unwrap Christmas!
