"The gospel of Jesus the Messiah was born, then, in a land and at a time of trouble, tension, violence and fear. Banish all thoughts of peaceful Christmas scenes. Before the Prince of Peace had learned to walk and talk, he was a homeless refugee with a price on his head."
—N. T. Wright, Matthew for Everyone: Part One, Chapters 1–15 (Louisville: Westminster John Knox, 2002), 14.
