How Much of the Christmas Story Is Actually in the Bible? | Christmas IQ Quiz


Listen Later

In this special Christmas episode of inContext, Michael Easley invites you into a thoughtful and engaging Christmas Quiz designed to test what we think we know about the Nativity story. Many of our assumptions come from tradition, art, and cultural imagery — but how much of it actually comes from Scripture? As Michael walks through each question, he highlights key biblical details, corrects common misconceptions, and helps us remember the stunning simplicity of the birth of Christ.

This episode isn’t just trivia. It’s a reminder to slow down during a busy season, open the Bible, and return to the true story of the incarnation. Whether you’re listening alone, discussing with your family, or using this quiz in a small group, you’ll gain a clearer view of what the gospel writers recorded — and a renewed sense of wonder at God’s plan in sending His Son.
Stay through the final score for a few reflections that will help you read the Christmas story with fresh eyes this year.
