Season 4, Episode 15: How the Grinch Stole Advent

My old friend, Alastair Roberts, joins me to discuss the Advent Calendar and its relation to Christmas. This is a really important conversation about the calendar and biblical chronology. This episode looks at the Season of Advent with new eyes; contemplating its place in the Calendar of the Church. Advent precedes Christmas because the emotional and normative demands the meditation of promise before fulfillment. Dr. Alastair concludes with some practical thoughts on celebrating Advent.
