Is it important to a lived Christian faith that Jesus was born on December 24th or December 25th?

Is it important to a lived Christian faith that Jesus was born on December 24th or December 25th? Is it important that Jesus fed five thousand or four thousand people with the loaves and the fish? In Jesus, the international bestseller, author Jacques Duquesne synthesizes modern archaeological and textual discoveries and studies, setting forth what we know today to be true about the life of Jesus. In clear and respectful language, he examines the events of Jesus' life, distinguishing within the gospels what is certain, what is probable, what is improbable, and what is symbolic. The result is a fresh and honest portrait of Jesus, a portrait that clearly shows why Jesus has captivated the world for two millennia.
