The Theology of Christmas Movies
What’s the true spirit of Christmas? That’s the question at the heart of countless Christmas movies that clutter the airwaves and cable listings at this time of year. But the answer one typically receives from films of this genre is not merely a departure from the biblical narrative, but rather is a kind of anti-gospel that turns our attention completely away from the redemption provided by the incarnate Son of God. The hosts will discuss this topic by walking through memorable lines from movies such as A Christmas Carol, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and many others(originally aired 12-11-16). __________ For a gift of $50 or more, request your copy of Michael Horton’s new book, Recovering Our Sanity – How the Fear of God Conquers the Fears That Divide Us, go to whitehorseinn.org/fearofgod. __________ Sign up for our newsletter and receive our free digital download collection on Justification – whitehorseinn.org/newsletter.
