On E2S3, we welcome the Rev. Canon Dr. Scot McKnight, New Testament scholar, author, and Canon Theologian for the Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others. Exploring Advent as an inherently missional opportunity, Scot unpacks four themes drawn from the Advent collects and lections to resource pastors preparing to preach the scriptures this upcoming season.ind.
