Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol: Christmas Past

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the terrifying and comical nature of the Ghosts of Christmas before introducing Dr. Dwight Lindley. By taking this course, you’ll learn profound lessons from the Ghosts of Christmas, explore the true meaning of Christmas through Scrooge’s surprising encounters, and discover how to open yourself to life’s many joys and blessings. Memories of his younger self—a lonely boy left at school, a young clerk, a greedy young man left by his fiancé—awaken Scrooge’s sympathy. To open himself to love others once again, he must first learn to love a lost version of himself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
