Adult Education: Redemption of Scrooge

Sundays, December 4, 11, and 18
10:10 a.m.
Classroom 6

Inspired by a well-known miser, and influenced by the writings of a group of American textile workers, Charles Dickens reworked a story he had published in The Pickwick Papers seven years earlier and single-handedly revived yuletide traditions that had fallen away since the Christmas feast days had been banned by Parliament in 1647. A Christmas Carol introduced the world to Ebenezer Scrooge whose miraculous Christmas Eve redemption continues to be reimagined in film, drama, and art almost 180 years later. Join Bob Cox, a collector of A Christmas Carol ephemera, for an Advent bible study that follows the course of this covetous old sinner’s redemption.
