News of Great Joy draws together the best Christmas writing by outstanding authors and poets over twenty years to create an ideal Christmas gift and a wealth of material for all who preach or lead worship at Christmas. Its many highlights include: - the eminent biblical scholar John Barton on how to understand the Old Testament prophecies of the nativity; - Barbara Brown Taylor on the prologue of John's Gospel which is always read on Christmas Day; - Margaret Barker on the legends that have become part of the Christmas story; - an unpublished short story by Evelyn Underhill; - a piece on the origins of the Nine Lessons and Carols; - poetry and reflections on the season's lectionary readings, and more besides. In keeping with the Christ Child's birth in a borrowed stable, all royalties from this book will go to St Martin in the Fields' work with homeless refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51759495184672,"sku":"9781786224064","price":30.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b2794b52542bf316cff29385ed127abd.webp?v=1780154470","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/news-of-great-joy-the-church-times-christmas-collection-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
