Amy-Jill Levine’s A Child is Born is a masterclass: a literary ultrasound that explores the ancient and often turbulent roots of nativity stories. She invites us to eavesdrop on the conversations between Old Testament narratives and their Gospel echoes, revealing raw, human stories of longing, rivalry, and divine interventions. Prepare to have your assumptions challenged, your imagination ignited, and your understanding of the divine profoundly deepened.
