It's the end of the year show, and Jen Fiona and Neil have some final reflections to finish off the Bible 2020 readings!

Thanks for joining us this year, and do not worry - We'll be back in 2021 with all new episodes, stories and time to explore the Bible together.

We hope you all have a safe and peaceful Christmas and New Year.

It's the Christmas episode! Finally, Bible 2020 has reached advent, and a series of passages that consider the reality of Christ's incarnation. Join Fiona, Jen and Neil as they look at the Bible, Carols and culture and ponder on what we have been given by God to know about the birth of Christ, and why it matters.

Our thanks to our Bible 2020 users who provide their voices for the readings in the episode.

We wanted to let you know about The Advent - a new podcast series that takes you on a journey through the Bible 2020 readings from our next theme - The Incarnation...

Let’s have a tale whose origins are from of old, from ancient times. A tale of the mystery from which true godliness springs. A tale that is in one measure familiar but, in another, strange and fresh. Because everyone needs a story about light, and presence and hope in these dark days.

The Advent is a Bible 2020 production brought to you by the Scottish Bible Society. Written and directed by Fiona Stewart. Performed by Fiona Stewart and Cameron Potts. Engineered and produced by Alasdair Wallace.
