2 Books for Advent What Are We Waiting For? Re-Imaging Advent for Time to Come William H. Petersen Bill Petersen argues for a liturgical renewal in the life and mission of the Church by proposing an expanded, seven-week observance of Advent, taking its cue from the shape and substance of the Revised Common Lectionary, while noting (and critiquing) the Church s complicity in the Christmas culture. Bill Petersen makes a compelling case for re-imagining Advent. Readers will benefit from his wisdom as a scholar and priest, and congregations will find ample resources for an Advent season that helps them anticipate the fullness of the reign of God.
