bullet Exegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
bullet"I believe that one of the great, unique features of Christianity is that it is a religion of God coming down to us, rather than most other religions where we have to raise ourselves up to a godly plane. Christianity is light shining in the darkness, which destroys the darkness. It is not the darkness trying to become light. It is being transformed by God's (de-)lightful presence among us."

bullet"Both "a horn of salvation" and "the house of his servant David" are references in these verses that evoke cultural intextexture. What do they mean? Only people who have been raised in Jewish culture or have been educated in it as an "other" culture will know their meanings."
bullet "El Benedictus (Lc 1,68-79) a través del arameo," J. Luzarraga. In Biblica 80 (1999). (English) Abstract.
