Covenant

Celebrating Kitsch—God’s Embrace of Our Life & Death

Donald Richmond -
Christ emptied himself, becoming one of us in all our ragged fleshiness. In his cruciform embrace of our ordinary death is our salvation.
Covenant

A Nazareth Pilgrimage and the Incarnation

Molly Jane Layton -
The Incarnation is more than an idea. God inhabited a home, one in Nazareth that can be visited to this day for prayer.
Covenant

Bach’s Christmas Oratorio & the Coming of Christ

Francis Omondi -
Bach's Christmas Oratorio helps us inhabit joy and embrace the implications of the Incarnation, confronting a world which needs the savior.
Covenant

St. John, Witness to the Incarnate God

Joseph Mangina -
Matthew and Luke give us the infancy stories. John's Gospel offers a commentary that we might know that the baby is the Word of the Father.
Covenant

Christmas & the Politics of Incarnation

Eugene R. Schlesinger -
To mistake Jesus's Incarnation, death, and resurrection for a purely spiritual reality is a misreading. The story leads to the public square.
Covenant

A Meditation on the Manger; A Longing for Paradise

Timothy Kimbrough -
Christmas may seem like an escapist refuge from the world’s pain. But this happens only when the manger is relegated to a sentimental detail.
Covenant

God’s Family

Geoffrey Mackey -
In the Incarnation, God knows both the joy and hope along with the pain and challenge of being in a family.
Sunday's Readings

That the World Might Know (Christmas 1, Year A)

Chuck Alley -
“The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.”
Covenant

Christmas & Natality

Christopher Yoder -
To be human, means to be born of woman. In being born, we receive life from others. God not only set this is motion, he has acted within it.
Covenant

Lighted to Lighten: St. Thomas & the Desire of Nations

Ray Capo -
St. Thomas journeyed to the east, bringing the light of Christ to the people of India. His Gospel work continues to this day.
