Did the Nativity really happen? Why are the birth accounts in Luke and Matthew different? See below for answers to these questions and our Advent podcast series, new for 2025.
This year our book of the season is ‘Repeat the Sounding Joy’ by Christopher Ash, our Writer in Residence.
Grab your copy now from any good bookseller, or pop by Tyndale House, any weekday, at 11 am during coffee time and purchase one directly from us!
This book is written to help you set your mind on Christmas—not the day to come in two or three weeks, but that glorious night in Bethlehem two thousand years ago.
In our Advent podcast series, Christopher and Tony Watkins, our Fellow for Public Engagement, will be releasing weekly devotionals based on ‘Repeat the Sounding Joy’. Check back here throughout Advent to find links to the episodes.

The Nativity: Fact or Fairytale?
Want to learn more about the veracity of the Christmas story?: Is the Nativity a true story? Why are there differences between Matthew and Luke’s accounts of Jesus’s birth? Was Luke historically correct when he wrote about the census? What was the star and is it even possible for the wise men to have followed it? What year was Jesus actually born?
Peter Williams answers all these questions and more in our special Christmas podcast episode; ‘The Nativity: Fact or Fairytale’.
