Is Advent just a countdown to Christmas?
Channel: The Caffeinated Bible
Date: 27/11/2020

What is Advent all about? What do we truly observe during this season? Is it just a four week countdown to Christmas?

The history and development of two distinct and perhaps contradictory theological trajectories behind the season of Advent are explored in this video. Special attention is given to the tension between Jesus' second coming and his first that is observed during this time of the liturgical year.
