Inhaltsangabe

We look forward to Christmas. We prepare for Christmas. We celebrate Christmas. But do we read the Christmas scriptures? Do we really know and understand and embrace them?“They will call him Immanuel” takes on that challenge as it accompanies the reader on a tour of the two gospel stories of Jesus’ conception and birth – stories that are short and sweet, but packed with incident and surprise, with angels, miracles, prophecies and songs, and with history and theology, and with so much more.Easy-to-read daily bible readings guide the reader clearly and caringly, offering refreshment, nourishment, explanation, encouragement. The readings will serve as an engaging, faith-invigorating companion for the Advent-Christmas-Epiphany season. _______________________________________Charles Price has commented: “This series of readings by Alan James, leading up to and beyond Christmas, present a heart-warming, mind-stimulating journey tracing the familiar story that surrounds the birth of Jesus, with fresh insights. This is Scripture interpreted in a wider theological context, and reaching beyond the mind to the heart. For those who wish to go deeper, there are footnotes to enable a fuller study, which gives these studies a very wide sphere of usefulness. For those sceptical about Christianity and Christmas, to go through these readings daily will give your mind and soul something to grapple with, and the hope of a new freedom to enjoy.”Charles Price, who has authored seven books, serves internationally as a Christian conference speaker, and broadcasts teaching programmes on Living Truth radio and television in many countries. He was formerly the Senior Pastor of The People’s Church in Toronto, and, before that, was the Principal of Capenwray Bible School, Lancashire.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author is an evangelical Christian who has a background in literary and legal writing. He has now turned his hand to writing faith-invigorating gospel readings informed by scrupulous research and aesthetic initiative using precise language and direct talking. The first book of readings which has been published traces the story of Jesus' birth - "They will call him Immanuel". The second book (early 2018) traces the story of Jesus' passion, death and resurrection - "The Messiah must suffer and rise". Two further books, on Jesus identity, and on the Kingdom, are in preparation. The author's major publication to date has been a literary-cum-scholarly presentation of some of the oral literature of the /Xam San people of South Africa which was documented in Cape Town in the mid-to-late 19th century - "The First Bushman's Path - stories, songs and testimonies of the /Xam of the northern Cape".
