Show transcript
Dickens felt that people should live life adhering to Christian virtues, especially in relation to social justice.
Dickens was very familiar with the Bible - he regarded it as his ‘unfailing guide to life’.
Dickens' message is perhaps not entirely theological, but focuses on living out Christian morals to better society.
Arguably, Dickens emulated the parable structure to teach his readers the importance of adhering to Christian virtues.
‘A Christmas Carol’ can arguably be viewed as one large parable, or several smaller parables.
