Description: Title: Walking Backwards to Christmas Author: Cottrell, Stephen Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press Binding: Paperback Pages: 130 Dimensions: 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.28d Product Weight: 0.29 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780664261863 Congregations are often confused or uninspired by the emphasis on Old Testament themes during Advent and too oeover Christmas by December 26 to pay much attention to the gospel stories that follow Jesus' birth. Walking Backwards to Christmas starts at the end of the story, with Jesus' presentation to Anna and Simeon at the temple, and moves backwards through Herod's slaughter of the innocents, the wise men's visit, Jesus' birth in a stable, Mary's pregnancy, and finally to the much-earlier hopes and dreams of Isaiah and Moses. Telling the Christmas story through the eyes of both famous figures like King Herod and imagined characters like the innkeeper's wife, Stephen Cottrell invites readers to experience Jesus' birth anew, with greater appreciation of the dark themes and ancient figures relevant to the Advent story.
