Theology is Fun

Top 5 Christmas Songs: Best & Worst (Part 1)


Listen Later

It’s Christmas time on Theology is Fun, and Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben kick off the season with part one of their two-episode special on the best and worst Christmas songs of all time. From “Joy to the World” to “Silent Night,” they break down what’s theologically rich, what’s historically questionable, and what just gives them the “Thomas Kinkade glow” in all the wrong ways.

Along the way, they unpack the incarnation, the virgin birth, the Abrahamic covenant, Genesis 3:15, and why “round yon virgin” has nothing to do with Mary’s figure. They’ll explain why “We Three Kings” may need a rewrite, why some lyrics deserve the naughty list, and why others deserve a standing ovation. And of course—there’s a nativity-scene debate, Cowboy slander, and more Christmas hot takes than anyone asked for.

Insightful, lighthearted, and full of biblical depth, this episode sets the stage for next week’s top two best and top two worst Christmas songs. Don’t miss part two.

Merry Christmas, and thanks for tuning in to Theology is Fun.
