Karen Armstrong Quote

Roman coins, inscriptions, and temples extolled Augustus, who had brought peace to the world after a century of brutal warfare, as Son of God, lord, and savior and announced the good news (euaggelia) of his birth. Thus when the angel announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, he proclaimed: Listen, I bring you euaggelion of great joy! Today a Savior has been born to you. Yet this son of God was born homeless and would soon become a refugee.37
