Here are some things to read, listen to, and watch this advent season.

Admirato has just released a free course on the Lord’s Prayer taught by N.T. Wright.

Hot off the press, Archaeologists have announced the discovery of a sarcophagus near the original burial place of Saint Nicholas at the Church of St. Nicholas, located in Turkey’s Antalya province. Maybe we can get some holy relics for Christmas.

If you like the first advent, what about a second advent? Sydney Tooth is interviewed by The Two Cities podcast about the eschatology of 1-2 Thessalonians. Very good!

On The History of Byzantium podcast, Father John Strickland explains the liturgy of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Listen to the Spiked interview with British man Macer Gifford about why he fought for Ukraine against Russia.

Also on The Two Cities Podcast, Andrew Judd and Jeannine Brown are interviewed about the importance of genre for biblical studies.

There is a good discussion of Neurodiversity and Christmas on the Autism and Theology podcast.

There is also “Mary, Did You Know,” the “Magnificat Marxist Version,” which I wrote and is ably performed by James and Britny Harmer.

Finally, listen to some of the beautiful Christmas hymns sung by Silvie Paladino, esp. “O Holy Night” and “Mary Did You Know?”
