Congregations are often confused or uninspired by the emphasis on Old Testament themes during Advent and too âoverâ Christmas by December 26 to pay much attention to the gospel stories that follow Jesusâ birth. Walking Backwards to Christmas starts at the end of the story, with Jesusâ presentation to Anna and Simeon at the temple, and moves backwards through Herodâs slaughter of the innocents, the wise menâs visit, Jesusâ birth in a stable, Maryâs pregnancy, and finally to the much-earlier hopes and dreams of Isaiah and Moses.
Telling the Christmas story through the eyes of both famous figures like King Herod and imagined characters like the innkeeperâs wife, Stephen Cottrell invites readers to experience Jesusâ birth anew, with greater appreciation of the dark themes and ancient figures relevant to the Advent story.
