Product Description

Product Description
An advent title from the author of Lent bestseller, The Day He Died. The Way it Was is a look at the evangelists' account of the birth of Jesus, to light up the background of what they've written, and to try to see more closely the personalities they glance at, and who play so large a part in the events surrounding the birth. It's no more than an attempt at an exposition of the familiar Gospel text we hold in our hands, in the hope of feeling a way through the mists and notions that cloud the evangelists' record, to see the birth the way it was. And, in the process to see more clearly the movement of the hand of God in the history of nations, and the affairs of ordinary mortals.

About the Author
The Very Rev Matthew Byrne was born in Salford, Lancashire, of Irish parents, but was reared and educated in Dublin. After his ordination he served as a curate in Rawtenstall, a Lanchashire cotton town, and was Army Chaplin from 1954 to 1957, on active service in Korea, Kenya and Cyrpus. His previous books include the bestselling DUBLIN AND HER PEOPLE and HEAVEN LOOKED UPWARDS. He lives in Greystones, Co Wicklow.
