Debunking the Nativity: A Christmas Round-Up

[caption id="attachment_6023" align="alignleft" width="113"] My book. Dig it.[/caption]

I have, at different Christmases, run some series debunking the historical claims within the Bible (specifically the Gospels of Matthew and Luke) to show them as wanting, running alongside my book The Nativity: A Critical Examination.

This, in true Christmas misery-inducing skepticism, has included critically analysing Boney M.

So I thought I would provide you with a go-to contents-style guide to Christmas skepticism.
