I am just after listening to R. C. Sproul's sermon on The Slaughter of the Innocents and he mentioned that one of the reasons why Joseph and Mary fled to Egypt when Christ was as an infant was owing to the presence of a large Jewish community in that country. On the face of it, the argument does seem to make sense but I have never really considered it before hearing it now. Does anyone here have any thoughts on the matter or have you read any commentaries that agree with Dr Sproul on this question.
