Publisher's Description
We are all familiar with the stories of what happened at the first Christmas and Easter--or are we? The Crib, the Cross and the Crown strips away the wrapping-paper of tradition and folk-lore from the stories of the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and takes a fresh look at what the Gospels themselves say. It describes the real Jesus of the New Testament, and reflects on the ways in which the recurring themes in his story can shape our own lives and faith.

Foreword
“From Haydn to Harry Potter, Michael Hooton uses every possible illustration to bring new ways of grasping the Good News of salvation in Christ. His writing is intellectually accessible and credible, and spiritually satisfying. It seems as if this small but comprehensive book has surveyed the whole Gospel, and the whole of discipleship, through the lens of the Biblical narratives of Jesus' birth, death and resurrection.”
“The author of The Crib, The Cross, and The Crown articulately undergirds the bedrock Christian truths that are part of annual holiday celebrations, namely Christmas and Easter. The book will surely help the reader to a greater appreciation of such seismic historical happenings and their current power and reality.”
