The Roots of Christian Festivals by David Self
Exploring the sacred and secular roots of the major Christian festivals Outlines not the theology but the social, folkloric and historic roots, customs and development of the major Christian festivals, as well as some religious traditional observances, showing how the sacred and secular have often fed upon one another. A succinct guide for speakers and teachers who need to explain secular (or even pagan) observances - such as Halloween which is hugely popular - in a Christian context.
Formerly a BBC Radio producer, David Self has worked as a freelance writer, broadcaster and journalist specialising on religious topics for over 25 years. He introduces Sunday Half Hour, broadcasts Thought for the Day, regularly contributes to the Church Times, and is author of many books including Somebody Once Said (SPCK, 2003).
