THIS IS HISTORY — IN CONVERSATION23 Joulu 2025

3. A Nativity to Die For — Gold, Frankincense... and Murder

In the final episode of Dan’s three-part retelling of the Nativity we enter the gospel of Matthew, as we explore the story according to him. Matthew is all about Jesus’s royal line so expect kings, royalty and great gifts. Plus, the notorious King Herod beckons - one of the most formidable and dangerous tyrants in the whole region. Want to delve deeper? Become a This Is History Royal Favourite subscriber on Patreon. You get ad free listening, exclusive behind the scenes videos, and a weekly bonus episode. On this week’s bonus episode, Dan and resident Nativity expert Professor Helen Bond place Matthew’s Gospel under the microscope. Compared to Luke’s, Matthew wants all the royal pomp and ceremony given to the baby Jesus. Fewer mangers, more myrrh.
