Advent Study: Light of the World

  • Church of the Good Shepherd 164 Newtown Road Acton, MA, 01720 United States (map)

Advent Study, 4 Sundays beginning December 1 from 11:45am-1pm.

Join Rev. Ellie for a discussion of Amy-Jill Levine's Light of the World: A Beginner's Guide to Advent. Levine is a professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School and a dynamic author and speaker. This study will explore the biblical texts surrounding the story of the birth of Jesus. As one reviewer notes, "Amy-Jill Levine's signature formula includes good measures of insight, wit, and steady prodding, all in the interest of helping her readers to understand Jesus in his historical contact, within his own religious tradition, Judaism."

Books need to be ordered in advance through Silver Unicorn in Acton (https://www.silverunicornbooks.com/item/ymGzNnichM6uKY2Zf1JVjw), or other online retailer.
