The message of the kingdom of God: an ecology of equality and
peace, and an economy of justice. Hope from beyond, sent to the
present, is what Advent asks us to reckon with. Hope consists of
God’s jump leads sent from the future through time and space,
wired right into our present pains, panics, and predicaments. How
can the light of Christ illuminate this present darkness? This book
engages with two great Christmas hymns: the Magnificat and
Benedictus. It is also rooted in poets, prophets and the theology
and devotional writing of the black theologian and mentor to Martin
Luther King Jr., Howard Thurman. Using the lectio divina approach
to passages drawn from Isaiah and Luke, An Advent Manifesto is an
invitation to pray and practise that most ancient Advent prayer,
‘Come, Lord Jesus, come.’
