Christmas through the Keyhole

This book looks at four songs sung around the birth of Jesus as recorded in Luke's Gospel: Mary's song (the Magnificat) in Luke 1:46-55; Zechariah's song (the Benedictus) in Luke 1:67-79; the angels' song (the Gloria) in Luke 2:14; and Simeon's song (the Nunc Dimittis) in Luke 2:29-32. It offers a fresh approach to the Christmas story with a focus on Jesus as the fulfilment of Old Testament promises and patterns.
