The Theology of Christmas Movies

This is an audio presentation so you will need sound. It is a caveat for what we enjoy at Christmas time: good, wholesome family movies with characters we like and an encouraging, though mostly secular story.

"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 CarolIt’s a Wonderful LifeThe Grinch Who Stole Christmas,and many others."
