ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
The quickest time machine to retrieve the past is the imagination. A fictitious radio station, WJER-Jerusalem, provides the vehicle to recapture and view some great Biblical events. Television, newspaper, video tape and audio tape, all being unavailable 2,000 years ago, causes us to use the medium of radio to “record” and re-create some great moments surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.
The accounts are biblically oriented with dramatization provided. Other than a radio station’s report of events being the obvious embellishment, no historical biblical facts are altered. For verification, some scriptural references are provided. Complete biblical citations are not included, as many themes are familiar.
Although many scholars believe that the appearance of the Magi bearing gifts occurred well after the initial birth setting, these are presented here concurrently, consistent with the other “traditional” understanding of how/when many believe the other events surrounding the birth occurred.
A major element to the enjoyment of this presentation is the yearning imagination of you, the listener.
The post Traffic in Bethlehem first appeared on Trinity Methodist Church.
