I have looked at this one a couple of times at book displays but never really wanted to buy it in Lent. So this year I remembered in the fall and ordered it.
I enjoyed it, but then I fully expected to do so. Not much in the way of new concepts for me, more of a nice summation of a non-literal (and also non-debunking) look at the Christmas stories.
I am thinking of a book study using it in November of 2011.
I think I'm going to have to get this one myself. Thanks for the review!!!
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way. Not much new, but I like Borg and Crossan's writing style. Also, a good idea for an Advent book study.
