Holy Disruption: Discovering Advent in the Gospel of Mark

Where’s the baby? The Gospel of Mark doesn’t have a nativity story–so where’s the Advent message? It’s in every aspect of Jesus’ life, to his death and beyond. The Incarnation–God come to earth in human form to be baptized, teach, heal, eat, and die–is what we celebrate at Christmas, and Mark shows us just how radical and celebration-worthy it is! Holy Disruption presents a fresh understanding of the holiness of Christmas grounded, not in a conventional cozy Christmas message, but through Mark’s disquieting gospel which invites its readers to experience God’s disruptive but transformative love for us and our world.
