Dickens' 1843 classic tale forged an enduring cultural link between the celebration of Christmas and the practices and attitudes of a Christian life. Richard Lines, president of the Swedenborg Society, calls it "Dickens' Swedenborgian Fairy Tale." Dickens apparently wrote it shortly after reading the work "Heaven and Hell"
