Synopsis
“Though one never really tires of advent devotionals, it is rare to find one that ventures beyond the expected passages from Matthew and Luke and the key Messianic prophesies from the Old Testament. Advent Homilies invites and challenges its readers to accompany Augustine as he journeys through the Scriptures in search of the eternal Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity, teaching us as he goes to love and adore him.”
– Louis Markos, Professor in English and scholar in Residence at Houston Christian University
Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the titans of church history. Works such as his Confessions and On the Trinity have earned him a place as one of “the Doctors of the Church,” responsible for shaping and defending Christian doctrine throughout the centuries.
Yet Augustine was also pastor. Week by week, year by year, he shepherded his flock by preaching to them the Good News. In this short collection, readers will find seventeen Advent homilies in which Augustine expounded from his pulpit the wonders of Christ’s incarnation for the everyday Christians in his congregation. Combining profound theological wisdom, sharp scriptural insight, and challenging practical application, these homilies are brief but rich meditations on the person of Christ—the Eternal Day who stepped into our darkness, the Bridegroom who came forth from his chamber, the Truth who sprung out of the earth.
If you are longing for Christ this Advent season, these homilies will present him to you afresh from an array of surprising passages.
