The sweet story of the birth of the Christ has been treasured and retold for more than 2,000 years. Yet many new insights have come to light in recent decades, as the sciences of archaeology and historical research have expanded and matured. In fact, it has only been within the past half century that scientific study of Book of Mormon history, geography and archaeology has led to the location of many key sites in Guatemala and southern Mexico. Born to Save Mankind is a retelling of the beloved account of the birth of Christ, with the inclusion of many of these recently discovered insights. It begins prior to the creation of this earth, laying the groundwork for the divine mission the Savior was to perform for the salvation of mankind. Many prophets foretold events in the life of Jesus; this study focuses on the prophecies found in Isaiah 7:14 and 9:6-7, explaining them in the light of their historical settings, both in the Middle East and in Middle America. The Christmas story is then retold from the gospels of Matthew and Luke, again with the addition of insights from both history and scripture. It continues through the family life, youth, and preparation of the Savior. There is no doubt that even the most erudite reader will find new insights to ponder and assimilate on almost every page as he reads Born to save Mankind-New Insights on Events Surrounding the Birth of Christ! $4.98
