In "No Trace of Christmas?", Dohmen explains why answers regarding believers' understanding of Christmas can be found not in the New but in the Old Testament. Since it was with the aid of the Old Testament that the early Church interpreted the event at Bethlehem, many of the images and biblical texts associated with Christmas only can be understood by following their Old Testament roots.
What is the significance of Jesus' genealogy in the Gospel of Matthew? Why are an ox and an ass specifically identified as at the crib in the nativity story? Why did angels appear to the shepherds? No Trace of Christmas? explains why the answers to these and other questions regarding our understanding of Christmas are to be found not in the New but in the Old Testament.
