With the release of the movie The Nativity Story and as Christmas approaches, it is a time for us to reflect on the birth of Jesus. Ignatius Press' promotion of the Story of the Nativity provides a thought provoking look at the true story of the Nativity and clears away misunderstandings of Jesus' origins. Along with this DVD, Ignatius Press is also offering some other DVDs and books in helping us all gain a better understanding surrounding the birth of Our Lord.

The story of the birth of Jesus is often misunderstood. But this fast-paced, thought-provoking look at the true story of the Nativity clears away widespread misunderstandings of Jesus’ origin. Join top scholars, inspirational speakers, and popular authors as they explain the story behind the story of the birth of Jesus. Explore the true story of Mary and Joseph, Jesus’ miraculous conception, the birth of John the Baptist, the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, the Star of Bethlehem, and the birth of Jesus.

Silent Night
A true story during World War II, Christmas Eve, finds a German mother and her son seeking refuge in a cabin on the war front. When she is invaded by three American soldiers and then three German soldiers, she struggles to convince the enemy soldiers to put aside their differences for one evening and share a Christmas dinner. The result is an inspiring story about the power of the Christmas message. Stars Linda Hamilton.

Mystery of the Three Kings
Three kings paid homage to the newly-born Jesus, but their story is filled with mystery. From Yemen to Russia and the ancient center of astronomy at Babylon, we search for the origins of the Three Wise Men, and learn the secrets of gifts they brought for Jesus. Retracing the steps of the wise men deepens our awe and reverence for the Christmas story. Also available on VHS

Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures by Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI was presented at a conference held at the United Nations last 2006. The event featured Marcello Pera, President Emeritus of the Italian Senate, and George Weigel. Father Joseph Fessio, founder of Ignatius Press, was also present.

Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures
Written by Joseph Ratzinger shortly before he became Pope Benedict XVI, Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures looks at the growing conflict of cultures evident in the Western world. The West faces a deadly contradiction of its own making, he contends. Razinger challenges the West to return to its roots by finding a place for God in modern culture. He argues that both Christian culture and the Enlightenment formed the West, and that both hold the keys to human life and freedom as well as to domination and destruction.


A Medieval Christmas
Frances Lincoln
Some of the greatest European painters of the Middle Ages were employed in the decoration of these manuscripts: Gerard Horenbout, one of the illuminators of The Sforza Hours, illustrates a simple Nativity using rich reds, greens and blues; the Annunciation to the Shepherds, depicted by the Master of the Duke of Bedford, is marvelously detailed and surrounded by classic miniatures; the Master of the Dresden Hours, a prolific Flemish artist of the late 1400’s, has strewn his Epiphany with flowers, so realistic that it seems possible to pick them off the page. Intricate in scale and radiant with gold and colors, these manuscripts represent the popular ideal of the medieval illuminated book.

Bethlehem
Fiona French
In the magnificent words of the Revised Standard Version of the New Testament, the story of the first Christmas unfolds. Beginning on the road to Bethlehem, through the Holy Family's flight by night to Egypt, breathtaking panoramas in a kaleidoscope of colors illuminate the story's miraculous events and timeless beauty of the Savior's birth. This book is a glorious sequel to her original, Easter.

Cradle of Redeeming Love
The Theology of the Christmas Mystery
John Saward

Following up on his acclaimed Redeemer in the Womb, John Saward returns to the mystery of Christ's Incarnation. He draws upon the rich traditions of the Church, as well as the writings of the great Christian mystics, to create a work that is both new and old, revolutionary and orthodox. This profoundly moving meditation will aid any contemplation on the life of Christ.

The Man Born to Be King
Dorothy Sayers

One of the most popular of Sayers' works, this famous play-cycle was originally written for broadcasting and was performed very successfully on BBC. Based on the Gospels, and completely faithful to the inspired accounts of Christ's life, Sayers adds unrecorded conversations, minor characters and all the details that give concreteness to the Gospel accounts. She does this in such a realistic and engaging manner that the whole Gospel story comes alive as an actual event taking place in our midst.
