Pretend you know nothing about “A Christmas Carol”. Based on just its title, what is Charles Dickens’s novella about? Probably Christmas.
Say you discover the novel takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The main character is led by three spirits representing Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. What’s the story about? Certainly Christmas, right?
Before we settle that, let’s meet Ebenezer Scrooge.
I have two huge passions: worldviews, and stories. Worldview is the set of beliefs guiding what we value and how we interpret our world. A large part of my worldview is Christianity. I believe God the Son became a man, lived without ever sinning (something no one else ever did), died a criminal’s death on a cross as a sacrifice to pay for our sins, and rose from death three days later, proving His sacrifice sufficient. It’s important to me to share my worldview, but I’m also fascinated by others’ worldviews and how they affect their understanding of life.
