Rethinking Scripture Podcast - Episode 32: Rethinking Advent - The GiftsDecember 23, 2021 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallWhen we think of the advent of the Christ, many of our perceptions are based on the scene at the nativity. We have come to expect three kings, or wise men, bearing small gifts for a King. In this episode, we attempt to tie the reasons why the magi brought gold, and frankincense and myrrh back to the Old Testament book of Isaiah.Referenced Resources:Opening Question - "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?"  posed by Charlie Brown in A Charlie Brown Christmas.A tv movie from 1965.BibleStudy.org Article "What Does the Nativity Have Wrong?" - https://www.biblestudy.org/biblepic/what-is-wrong-with-the-nativity.htmlCollins, S.
