The liturgical calendar forces one’s mind to turn from the passing scene to the deep and abiding verities of redemptive history — Incarnation, Christmas, and the merry tidings of the Apostle John.
Great to find you here. I agree that John 1 is the book for philosophers, it is my favorite Christmas narrative, too. Apparently we are in good company, even the Jewish thinkers Martin Buber and Viktor Frankl cherished this text of the indwelling word. I happen to have written about it on the 10th day of Christmas, and on Hildegard of Bingens take on the same text. I would love to hear what you think!
