Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Day of His Coming: Thoughts for the Season of Advent The Calendar of the Church year, it has been decided, begins with the season of Advent. This is obviously because it has been felt that the whole structure of Christian doctrine and of Christian life is built upon the revelation of God´s relation to the world, His coming to Humanity in the Incarnation of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Christmas thought, - "Emanuel, God with us" - needs for its apprehension a period of preparation and the Church has wisely chosen these four weeks at the very beginning of its Calendar that Christian people may learn to understand what the Coming means and what consequence it draws with it in its train. Nevertheless, misunderstandings persist, misunderstandings which would not be serious were they simply intellectual errors, but are seen to be moral hindrances when we perceive how they lessen the sense of awe which the thought of each approaching Christmas should bring and, thereby, lessen inevitably the joy and the power and the richness of our present Christian life. Hence the attempt to set forth as simply and explicitly as possible something of the meaning of this solemn season. "What is the ultimate design of the world?"
