I’ve been reading some wonderful insights on the story of Christ’s birth this week. Today I’d like to share the links to Donna B. Nielsen’s “Notes on the Nativity” posts. Donna is the author of Beloved Bridegroom, a book detailing Jewish marriage customs at the time of Jesus Christ which helps us better understand Christ’s metaphor when He called Himself the Bridegroom. I enjoy reading Donna’s blog as she posts so many deep and clear explanations of biblical terms and Jewish traditions and customs.

She’ll be posting more articles so be sure to read them all at Connections.

P.S. One of children’s favorite posts of Donna’s has to do with the names of Puritans.
