Did the Old Testament prophesy the birth of Christ? Unbelievable? 24 Dec 2011

A festive edition of the show in which we investigate some of the common Old Testament prophecies associated with Christmas. Isaiah 7:14 "The virgin will conceive" and Micah 5:2 "But you Bethlehem..."

Do such prophecies supernaturally predict the coming of Christ?

Dr Michael Brown is a Messianic Jew who believes there is overwhelming evidence for Jesus fulfiling the prophecies of the Old Testament. Andrew Hindmarch is an atheist who denies that any kind of prophecy can be show to be valid.
