Summary

Jason Staples and Stephen Carlson try to ruin your Nativity! Jason discusses Stephen’s essay ”The Accommodations of Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem: Κατάλυμα in Luke 2:7.” They also discuss when Mary and Joseph get married, the census in Luke 2:2, and ... (wait for it) ... the Spanish Inquisition.
