Those who wish to teach/think about the way Christmas
fits into the sociology of religion from a postmodern
critical point of view may find two articles in the
Transforming Sociology Series of the Red Feather Institute
which may be helpful to that purpose:

        Social Justice and the Drama of the Holy, at:

        http://www.tryoung.com/archives/148I-god.htm

2. Typifications of Christ at Christmas and Easter:
        A Mini-lecture for Grad students in Sociology, at:

        http://www.uvm.edu/~dlanger/lectures/22typi.htm


And...for a more historical overview of Christianity
        and its fit into a globalized political economy
        go to:
