"When we picture the first Advent, we see Mary and Joseph huddled by a manger. We picture Gabriel, magi, and shepherds tending their flocks. A shining star against a midnight sky. But this harmonized version has lifted the Advent story out of its context--those who experienced the first Advent had to travel through great darkness to reach the hope that shining star announced. Trusted scholar and community organizer Kelley Nikondeha takes us back to where the landscape of Palestine is once again the geographic, socioeconomic, and political backdrop for the Advent story. Reading the Advent narratives of Luke and Matthew anew, in their original context, changes so much about how we see the true story of resistance, abusive rulers and systems of oppression, and God coming to earth"--

Kelley takes us on an amazing journey through Palestine both as it was during the First Advent as well as current day. This is a book that will connect you to the complex roots of what was happening when God arrived, why that matters, and how we can continue on the work. Kelley dives into the economics and politics of the region while talking of peace, justice, lament, hope, resilience, challenges, and more. Reading this book has helped me understand so many stories and people in the gospels, not just those present in the Advent narrative. It is not a traditional Advent book, nor one that needs to be read during Advent, it is an eye opening book for anytime of year.
