Anthony Esolen on Putting the Christmas Back in Christ

“Putting the Christmas Back in Christ

“That's Chesterton's idea, not mine. But he was surely right. Chesterton knew that, so long as the atheist remembers a Christmas of long ago, when it seemed that the stars themselves were made only that they might twinkle upon a stable in Bethlehem, he may yet someday become a man worthy of the boy he once was.”

So begins a reflection by Dr. Anthony Esolen (who teaches Renaissance English Literature and the Development of Western Civilization at Providence College). To continue reading this thought-provoking commentary, please visit:
