November 28 — Bible sales in the U.S. have risen 11% in 2025, continuing steady growth since 2021. HarperCollins reports increased demand across all types, including children's and study Bibles, with diverse editions helping meet the surge. The Jesus Bible, designed for Gen Z readers, has been particularly successful, reflecting growing interest in faith among younger generations. (The Christian Century) |
| November 28 — At İznik, Turkey, Pope Leo XIV and Patriarch Bartholomew commemorated the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea at the recently resurfaced Basilica of Neophytos, submerged for over 1,200 years. The event celebrated the unity that birthed the Nicene Creed, a cornerstone of Christian faith, with calls for overcoming divisions and condemnations of religious violence. The basilica, rediscovered in 2014 and linked to the Council, symbolizes the renewed commitment to unity in faith. (RNS) |
| November 30 — Advent Sunday, the fourth Sunday before Christmas, kicks off the Advent season in many Christian traditions. From a Latin word meaning "arrival," Advent began in the 4th century as a 40-day period of fasting and penance, but has evolved into a season of joyful anticipation of Christ's birth and second coming. Churches (and homes) light candles weekly, symbolizing Jesus as the Light of the World, alongside Bible readings of Old Testament prophecies, the Nativity story, and Christ's return.

The Word of God has been a cornerstone of faith for millennia, serving as a source of guidance, comfort, wisdom, and the revelation of God to humanity. But how we read the Bible has transformed dramatically over the centuries.
The physical presentation of the text — its typography — has always played a crucial role in its accessibility and impact. From the painstaking work of ancient scribes to the digital innovations of today, there has been a continuous effort to make the scriptures clearer and more engaging for every generation. |
| The Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 is the most well-known prayer in human history — but that familiarity can work against us. By assuming we already know what it means, we miss the depth and power Jesus intended.
Understanding Jesus' prayer in its original context changes things. After years of study, teaching, and leading trips to the Bible lands, we've developed a simple yet powerful framework at Walking The Text called the six "Lenses of Context" that help us see the Bible as it was meant to be understood.
As you explore each lens, you'll begin to see that this ancient prayer is so much more than a mantra to recite, but an invitation to join Jesus in his mission of bringing heaven here. |
