The Annunciation: Christmas Greeting 2023

Merry Christmas! Today for our annual Christmas special we take a look at the first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke, comparing the characters of Mary and Zechariah. We draw connections to Old Testament scripture and Second Temple Judaism, and explore how the whole Christian story hinges upon the free will of a teenage girl.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or this is just another day, I wish you a happy, healthy, and peaceful time. Thank you for all your support through the past year!
