Pastor Arnold Murray ,Shepherds Chapel does an interesting
study of the biblical record of Christs' birth and suggests
(as have others that Christ was concieved in late Dec. and
a babe in the manger in March.Bears consideration for its'
logic.Our modern centrism ignores the fact that in the
Scripture there is evidence the Jews did recognize life
in the womb.

is that a 3 month or a 15 month pregnancy?

Wow, that really was a miracle. I don't think I've heard of a baby surviving a 12 week gestation period in modern times. The local hospital must've had one fantastic neo-natal unit.

I assume you mean other than a 3 month gestation vice the normal 40 weeks. Luke 2:6 refers to the time came for the child to be born, which seems to indicate a normal time. Plus the total absence from both scripture anything about a short gestation period. Yeah, other than that, it's totally believable.

***Shepherds Chapel ***

If that is the one in Gravette Ark, many of the church goers there use E. W. Bullinger's COMPANION BIBLE.
It has a very good apendix with this type info in it.

NO, I don't go to that church but I do have a Companion Bible for it's information.

No, Murray goes with ~ Sept 29 date for the birth. That's when taxes were collected and it coincides with the Feast of Tabernacles explaining why there was no room at the inn.
