Sinterklaas. No matter the name, he is the beloved saint who brings Christmas cheer to millions of children each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut not everyone sees Santa as a harmless holiday tradition. Some argue he's a distraction from Christ-or worse, a tool of deception, commercialization, and even spiritual corruption. Is he an innocent symbol of joy, or has he become a usurper to the true meaning of Christmas in a post-Christian world?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritics claim Santa encourages idolatry, borrowing too much from pagan traditions. Others say he promotes a works-based system of rewards, deceives children, and fuels the commercialization of Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBible scholar and lifelong Santaphile J. Kent Holloway takes a thoughtful, candid look at these concerns, weighing them in his own Naughty and Nice list. Is Santa truly a holiday villain, or might it be that Christians are overlooking a powerful opportunity? Could Father Christmas actually be an ally in sharing the gospel during the season when hearts are most open to the message of Christ?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging, thought-provoking, and full of holiday spirit, A Case for Kringle invites readers to reexamine Santa's place in Christian tradition-and perhaps to see him in a whole new light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11605925\"\u003eKent Holloway\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 4n6 Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798349382758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL012160\"\u003eChristian Living | Parenting\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL034020\"\u003eHolidays | Christmas \u0026amp; Advent\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"4n6 Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48460550078701,"sku":"9798349382758","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_710b1f95-a2a9-4354-b39e-460d60854a87.jpg?v=1753666013","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-case-for-kringle-gods-christmas-missionary-9798349382758","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
