Description

Soaked in the older scriptures of the Jewish people, the songs Luke records in his inspired Gospel - the songs of Mary, Zechariah, Simeon and the angels at Bethlehem - reveal the wonderful truth that 'in the town of David a Saviour has been born to us'.

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.
