About The Incarnation
Part of the series n/a
For 25 years one of my joys has been to write and read an advent poem each Sunday of Advent for the people of Bethlehem. The poems aim to speak truth about God and his ways with man, but they are imaginative reconstructions behind figures of the Bible of what may have been, but probably was not. Historically, my aim is not to create anything that could not have been or that in any way contradicts what the Bible says.
I write them because the effort to say things differently helps me see things more deeply and love God more deeply. And I hope they help you in that same way.
