A theological exploration of how baptism and Communion shape our
lives together as God's people, explaining how the physical water,
bread, and wine embody the promises, grace, and presence of Christ.
Where's the baby? The Gospel of Mark doesn't have a nativity
story-so where's the Advent message? It's in every aspect of Jesus'
life, to his death and beyond. The Incarnation-God come to earth in
human form to be baptized, teach, heal, eat, and die-is what we
celebrate at Christmas, and Mark shows us just how radical and
celebration-worthy it is! Holy Disruption presents a fresh
understanding of the holiness of Christmas grounded, not in a
conventional cozy Christmas message, but through Mark's disquieting
gospel which invites its readers to experience God's disruptive but
transformative love for us and our world.
