The First Advent in Palestine: Reversals, Resistance, and the Ongoing Complexity of Hope | Kelley Nikondeha

1 post | 1 read

Bringing us the untold--often hidden--story of Advent, Kelley Nikondeha takes us back to the original landscapes.

The First Advent in Palestine: Reversals, Resistance, and the Ongoing Complexity of Hope | Kelley Nikondeha

pick

This was a deeply reflective and also heartbreaking read, given current events in Gaza. Nikondeha positions the stories of Advent in their historical as well as present-day context, offering fresh insights and thought-provoking connections I hadn‘t previously considered. Her discussion of Mary and Elizabeth as a story of resistance was profoundly moving for me this Advent.
