Advent is not only the perfect time to read the story of the birth of Jesus; it’s also a great time to dive deeper into the biblical texts that surround the event. In “Light of the World: A Beginner’s Guide to Advent”, author, professor, and biblical scholar Amy Jill-Levine shows how the Gospel narratives connect to the Old Testament; highlights the role of women in first-century Jewish culture; and emphasizes the importance of Mary’s visitation, the census, the stable, the star of Bethlehem, and the flight to Egypt.

This 4-week series will begin on Wednesday, December 2nd at 12:30.
