Birthplace of Jesus debated in Peoples Church sermon

Rev Penney defends critical view on Jesus birth place and date, contrasting with Rev McCaughtry. He argues Nazareth as Jesus’ origin, Bethlehem only as a debated gospel insertion, cites authorities across Holland Germany France England and America, and critiques the census in Luke.
