Tent Talks with Dr Stephen Backhouse
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Dr. Emily Hunter McGowin has entered the Tent to take part in Chris Marchand's annual Christmas episode. She has just released her new book Christmas: The Season of Life and Light which offers reflections, insights, and gentle challenges about how we celebrate the holiday season. The conversation dwells on the major themes Chris addressed in his own Christmas book as well as past episodes, namely, the political nature of serving others, finding a way to rest, unleashing our festive side, and finally, being drawn to the worship of the Christ-child.
Dr. McGowin's book can be purchased here. An alternate version of this episode, with additional material, was released on the PostConsumer Reports Podcast. She was one of the guests in Chris' previous series "Women in Church Leadership," which can be listened to here. You can find out more about her, including her other publications at her website.
If you are interested in reading Chris's book on the 12 days of Christmas you can find it here or here. Chris's Christmas music can be found here. And last year's Christmas episode (on sad Christmas songs) can be found here.
