Amidst decorations, carols and shopping, have we missed the deeper journey of Christmas in all its symbolic power? Can we reintegrate the Gospel stories of Jesus' birth with the natural cycles and rhythms of creation and our own human experience? Alexander John Shaia joins Peter and Dom to talk about Christmas traditions from evergreen trees to Santa Claus and finds a richness that brings together the two great books of nature and scripture. In the narrative of new birth heard every Christmas, we bear witness to the radiance at the heart of all things and are reminded that new life always happens in the midst of the deepest darkness. 

All of Alexander John Shaia's books are listed on www.quadratos.com/books/ 

Beginning 25 January, he will teach a 7-week online course on the Four-Gospel Journey through The Shift Network, registration begins in January. Details on: www.quadratos.com in early January.
