Some years ago, at the time of the almost eponymous film, John Piper wrote a little book The Passion of Jesus Christ. It gave fifty reasons why he came to die.
In many ways this book by Joel Beeke of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary Grand Rapids and William Boekestein of Covenant Reformed Church, Carbondale, Pennsylvania, does a similar job for Christmas and the incarnation. It gives us 31 distinct reasons, with a short chapter for each, on why God became man in Christ.
