Advent, Incarnation, and the Call to Community
Advent is often spoken of in multiple tenses—past, present, & future. It is a season when the church looks backward to celebrate the birth of Christ, looks to the present for signs of Christ among us, and, lastly, looks forward in anticipation of Christ’s return.
This class will explore these various “tenses” of Advent through a theological and Biblical examination of incarnation and community. We’ll discuss the meanings of
Advent and how this season calls us to a new, shared life in Christ.
