Awareness of the liturgical seasons of the year has increased
greatly in recent years, as the popularity of the "Common Worship
Times and Seasons" volume has illustrated. Churches are constantly
looking for ways to enrich their seasonal celebrations, and the
first point of better celebration is better understanding. Of all
the seasons, Advent is the least understood, the least studied. An
entirely Western phenomenon without much of a preaching or
liturgical tradition, it is characterised as much by its folk
customs - the advent wreath and the Feast of St Nicholas - as by
its biblical themes. Here is a book that helps to create a fuller
theology of Advent. Kenneth Stevenson characteristically draws on
biblical, historical and liturgical evidence to show how the
churches have understood and kept Advent down the centuries, and
finds that the season has much to say to contemporary concerns in
today's church and world, from how we do mission to Richard
Dawkins' brand of atheism and a surprising number of issues in
between.
