Dawn of the Messiah
The Coming of Christ in Scripture
Item Number: 30786
Edward Sri
Perhaps the story of Christ's birth has become almost too familiar. We've heard the story so many times that it fails to shock us: the appearances of the angel, a virgin giving birth, a child placed in a manger, the arrival of shepherds and magi.
Today's reader, unfamiliar with the ancient Jewish world, misses the significance of many details in the Gospel accounts of the birth of the Messiah. This book bridges the gap, explaining the original context of every line and detail in the biblical stories. Sri not only helps readers understand an earlier and pivotal time and place, he also brings them to a deeper understanding of the great mystery of God's entry into the world as one of us.
Edward Sri, S.T.D., is an assistant professor of theology at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. He is a founding leader with Curtis Martin of FOCUS and the author of several books, including The New Rosary in Scripture. Edward and his wife Elizabeth are the parents of three children.
