Advent

Merry Christmas from Emerging Scholars Network

December 23, 2018 by ESN Announce Leave a Comment

During this Christmas season, we pray that you would find joy in Christ, the light of the world. We thought this ancient hymn would be a helpful reflection for the last Sunday of Advent and for Christmas a few days later. May God bless you richly in this season! - The ESN Team … [Read more...] about Merry Christmas from Emerging Scholars Network

Science Corner: The Future, Fast and Slow

December 5, 2018 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Abstract geometric image of circles and curves, suggesting perhaps a wormhole.

"The future is already here--it's just not very evenly distributed." That quote from William Gibson is usually referenced to discuss how new technologies are adopted. Yet it struck me today as an apt way to think about the Christmas story. When Jesus was born as the Son of God incarnate, the future arrived in a very tangible way. We no longer needed to await the arrival of the Messiah; he was here bringing hope for a new creation. Now our season of advent looks ahead to his return and a time when that new creation will … [Read more...] about Science Corner: The Future, Fast and Slow

ESN frequently commissions new material designed for Christian academics to use in the seasons of the church calendar. In the past few years, our talented authors have created an impressive archive of ESN material for the Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter seasons.

Third Week of Advent: The Incarnation (Scholar’s Compass)

December 17, 2017 by Joy Moore Leave a Comment

Scripture Christ Jesus . . . who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. - Philippians 2:6-7 A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the … [Read more...] about Third Week of Advent: The Incarnation (Scholar’s Compass)
