Part I
In this chapter Norm is making his trek towards Bethlehem. Norm begins to question the differences in the birth narratives and early childhood stories of both Matthew and Luke. Matthew tends to focus more on Joseph in his stories and Luke puts more emphasis on Mary (92). Norm arrives in Bethlehem and is taken back at how Jesus’ birthplace is a tourist attraction and not a sacred place. Two professors and students present Norm with differences in the gospels Matthew and Luke and how they might have scripturized history (98).
Part II
Norm is not at ease with the differences between the gospel Matthew and Luke. He does not like the idea that he might have had it wrong his whole life. The differences are noticeable between the two but it is easy to see why Matthew and Luke may have made the changes or kept the facts that they did.
