Christmas - Philosophy for Everyone: Better Than a Lump of Coal Paperback - 2010
by Fritz Allhoff (Editor); Scott C. Lowe (Editor); Foreword by Stephen Nissenbaum
From the rear cover
Some wise men, a stable, a few sheep, and a young virgin giving birth to the mortal son of a prefect God: Christmas is one of Christianity's holiest days, and yet it is also a major pagan festival, a secular, cultural celebration, and a commercial event of epic proportions. As consumerism runs rife, have we lost sight of its very essence? Is celebrating Christmas really a good idea? From elves and Ebenezer Scrooge, to the culture wars and virgin birth, Christmas - Philosophy for Everyone unwraps the religious and moral issues surrounding the Yuletide season, including:
- Should parents lie to their children about Santa Claus?
- What relevance does Christmas hold to atheists and pagans?
- What does the Bible actually say about the virgin birth?
- How does Santa know if we have been naughty or good - is there a darker side to our festive friend?
Christmas - Philosophy for Everyone offers thoughtful and humorous philosophical and cultural insights into the festive season with plenty of goodwill and just a little bah humbug.
