Title:
William H. Willimon - "Here" (December 23, 1990)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: 26:06. Sermon end time: 47:09.

  • From the story of Jesus’ nativity, the preacher argues that God’s love and presence is manifested in particular contexts of ordinary people’s lives. The preacher disapproves the notion of making the gospel into something general and abstract. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: “It is this particularity, this smallness that is not just a characteristic of Bible stories like the Nativity, I tell you, it is a characteristic of the Christian faith itself.”
