About the book

"Christmas Unwrapped" offers a fascinating critique of the American Christmas from the perspectives of cultural studies, theology, and biblical studies. The central argument is that Christmas--with its attendant mythology, icons, and rituals--has become a new religion in America: the religion of consumer capitalism.
