A Brief Theology of Christmas Presents

How shall we then shop?As your thoughts turn to Christmas preparations and shopping for presents, how should you be thinking theologically about that task? As you spend time and money on this aspect of your Christmas celebrations, how should you be bringing that activity, like every aspect of your life, into submission to the Word?Too often, Christians get no farther with this than the world does—merely lamenting about commercialism. But that criticism is as secular as a Black Friday sale and as stingy as Scrooge. This slim volume calls for a more glad, grateful, generous, and glorious approach as it considers the ground of giving, the nature of giving, the nature of receiving, and the goodness of the material world.
