The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Birth by Marcus J. Borg,John Dominic Crossan Book Review

Name: LaRamee
Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: .0 out of 5 stars A perceptive coupling of factual historical context with original theological meanings
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2014
Review: The four-star rating for this book is an amalgam of 5 stars for the author’s very clear explanations of the First Century historical context for the Christmas narratives, and 3 stars for avoiding an opportunity to examine the obvious factuality/contradictory issues of the narratives themselves. The net is 4 stars.

The author does not consider the historical factuality of any aspect of the Christmas texts of Matthew and Luke. “Rather, we focus on their meanings. What did and do these stories mean?” (Introduction). He places the stories in their first century context, and then comments on how Christians should understand the stories today (also from the introduction).

One reasonably assumes that most Christians, deep down, believe that some form of a blended nativity story is literally and historically true. A functional Christian faith would lose something special if this were not the case. By declining to address textual issues, Marcus Borg, by default, is admitting that the stories do not have a basis in fact. His follow-up focus on an interpretation of the “meaning” of those stories in today’s context is an unwarranted stretch, in my opinion. The stories make the most valid sense when considered in the temporal and cultural context in which they were written. This, Borg does very well. The obvious historical errors in the stories and the contradictions between the stories simply cannot be resolved. Neither can the meanings of the stories be honestly interpreted if removed from their original context.

Nevertheless, an understanding of the historical context of these stories does enrich one’s perspective on them. Linking the virgin birth to the contemporary virgin birth stories of Roman emperors, is an example. Jesus is shown to be as phenomenal as Roman emperors. His status is as high as theirs, even though the surroundings of his birth are mean. The book offers many such links to the context of the times. In other publications, these kinds of cultural links have also been demonstrated for non-nativity stories within the Gospels. The explanations of the First Century cultural contexts, as a means of showing WHY the nativity stories were written AS THEY WERE, is the most valuable contribution of this book.

I strongly recommend the first half of the book, the half that places the nativity stories in their original temporal, cultural and historical context. You will then view the nativity stories from a much richer perspective. You will become aware of the meanings that the ancient authors of the stories intended to convey. Those are the only meanings that have any validity. Taking the nativity texts out of their original context and dropping it into the modern context leaves behind those intended meanings.

As for the second half of the book: Borg adds nothing to what is readily available from the pulpit today, or from good modern interpretations by today’s theologians. These are abundantly available.

Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: .0 out of 5 stars Excellent Study of the Subject.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2016
Review: As usual, the Borg/Crossan collaboration produces magic found in previous works. Their methodology used is very similar to an earlier work, "The Last Week" and with the same intent: How do we in this age of enlightenment culture, understand the writings of the First Century of the Common Era?

They fully recognize that the birth stories of Sts. Matthew and Luke are not literal history and most likely the product of the gospel's authors. Having done that, they move forward with the stories still matter even if "fiction". Demonstrating why they take this academic position fills the balance of the book's content.

Borg/Crossan make two major points for me:

1) The birth stories are a literary creation that introduces each gospel it prefaces. The stories are parables and as such factual accuracy of events is not the issue - the message of the story is.

2) The authors here noted that it is impossible for a democracy to exist with an empire (Ancient Greece) and it is impossible for a republic to exist with an empire (Ancient Rome). It is possible to one or the other but not both. Make no doubt out it, the United States is an empire.

I fully agree with the second observation about "coexistence with empire". History strongly support this perspective - "peace through victory" to use their phrase.

For the first observation, Borg/Crossan maintain the birth stories support a different perspective - "peace through justice" - and the birth stories were written to counter the Roman, Imperial, theology that dominated the world. While I agree with their cognitive arguments here for the most part, the concept of "what to believe" or live one's life for a "enlightenment-trained" world remains an issue. How is the meanings of the stories legitimately separated from it factual (or lacking thereof) content? The sayings of Lao Tzu come to mind here

On one hand is Christianity predicated on a series of deliberate lies or do the meanings of the birth stories carry the emotional dreams of people in the First Century CE and can the stories do the same in the 21st Century CE? The work calls into question whether factual events are necessary for the foundation of religious belief? Fundamentalist Christians will answer one way; progressive Christians will answer another.

Either way, history is solidly on the side of Borg/Crossan.
