An Advent Scripture Reading Guide

By Brian Zahnd. Check it out here:
Advent and the start of the Christian calendar begins on Sunday, November 27. I love the Christian calendar! It enables us to re-tell, re-live, and re-enter the Jesus Story — from the crowded stable to the empty tomb. We are a peculiar people and we have a peculiar calendar. We live in a secular world but we belong to a sacred story. And so we have two calendars — one secular, one sacred. What we want is to be formed by the Gospel Story. And the Gospel is a story! The Gospel is not a plan or theory or philosophy or ideology — it is a story!
