Christmas Theologies and Billboards

from iGod St Matthew-in-the-City · host Clay Nelson

On Advent 3 Glynn Cardy looks at three Christmas billboards and the theologies they represent. He of course favours the one outside St Matthew's: "The Christmas billboard outside St Matthew-in-the-City lampoons literalism and invites people to think again about what a miracle is. Is the miracle a male God sending forth his divine sperm, or is the miracle that God is and always has been among the poor? The billboard has a sombre Joseph and a consoling Mary, with the caption “Poor Joseph. God is a hard act to follow.” Full text and video available at www.stmatthews.org.nz.
