Christmas Update by Rev A A Gitter
A Christmas meditation cites scholar H W Van Der Vaart Smit who questions the traditional Bethlehem birth scene. He argues the census was a land and value listing, not a headcount, and that Jesus was born in summer, possibly in a stable attached to a cave. The piece notes these views do not diminish Christmas charm or reverence.
