Book Description
Read this book and experience a more loving celebration of God with us than you ever thought possible. Gregory Spayd, Pastor serving St. Genevieve Parish, Corpus Christi, Texas This is one of the finest--if not the finest---books I have read about the birth narratives of Jesus. Wow. Great job! Thanks. Rance Darity. Graduate University of Kentucky, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Mennonite Seminary. An Anabaptist 'follower of Jesus'. 'Creative, challenging, provocative, and scholarly, John Henson takes us on a journey that cuts through the Christmas traditions of the centuries, enabling us to hear afresh the radical story of the birth of Jesus.' Revd Dr Simon Woodman Co-minister: Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, London; formerly tutor at Cardiff Baptist College, Wales. 'John Henson and Ray Vincent present us with the humanity of the Christmas story, and show us why it matters. I cannot thank them enough for making Christmas real to me again, and restoring true meaning to one of the most powerful, scandalous, and beautiful narratives of our shared faith.' Kevin M. Rodriquez, Founder and Administrator 'Progressives for America.'. 'In this thought provoking book, John and Ray, grounded in a faith that touches real people in the real world, invite the reader to expand their knowledge and imagination and to reflect on the message at the heart of the Christmas narratives.' Sue O'Hare, Methodist Minister, Caerphilly, Wales. 'John Henson's work is for a large part of the "religious" public a well-kept secret.' Rowan Williams (Baron Williams of Oystermouth) Archbishop of Canterbury 2002-2012
