Each year, the Christmas double issue of the Church Times offers a
feast of seasonal reading. 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have become part of the Christmas story; * an unpublished short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.
