29. Rethinking Advent - The Timing

Episode 29: Rethinking Advent - The Timing

December 20, 2021 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall

When we think of the advent of the Christ, some of our perceptions are based in the timing of the events. While we celebrate in the middle of the winter season, that’s likely not the time when the events actually happened. We also have some assumptions as to the timing of Mary’s pregnancy. In this episode we examine the timing of the advent.
