Wait till they find out what Easter is about. The bunny supporters won't like it.
Isnt it illegal to mention Christ in a theater ?
It's allowed. But only as an explicative.
Professor Andrew Quicke, professor of Cinema Television at Regent University, said Narnia was not written as "an evangelical religious tract" but rather "as a story."
Some don't like to admit it. It's a basic liberal disease. They also don't like to admit that terrorists are our enemies and that our troops are winning in Iraq.
Mostly -- more than anything -- they hate to admit that from the 20th century onward anything demonstrating genius could possibly be by a Christian or about Christ the Savior of all who call on Him.
"Shocking!"
Yep. But, these books are actually good reads even for non-believers. To the non-believer, these books are just fictional thrillers. When I read these books as a child, I never realized there was a deeper meaning contained within. When I was in 6th grade many moons ago, I checked the whole series out of the school library for our Summer Reading Program, because I was into that sort of genre.
Speaking of.... FYI.
ROFL!
'Till We Have Faces'
'The Great Divorce'
'The Abolition of Man'
'Mere Christianity'(Just to name a few)
And now this?! Imagine that.
I am so glad those folks exist.
I'm also glad there's a "Coast to Coast" with whoever nouri (or whatever his name is)
Mere Christianity and The Reluctant Believer should be required reading for anyone who either is a Christian or wants to attack Christians.
And how about the science fiction trilogy? One of my favorites. You don't have to look to far to find the Christian message there either!
Absolutely. Have that sitting on my shelf as well.
Have you read 'The Taste for the Other' by Gilbert Meilaender?
"Mere Christianity and The Reluctant Believer should be required reading for anyone who either is a Christian or wants to attack Christians."
Yes. Because if they read and understand Mere Christianity at least they will be attacking Christianity from a well informed perspective rather than the idiotic popular point of view.
Most likely though, if they read and understand Mere Christianity they will likely say "wow I never thought of it that way.." then pass on their attack or become Christians themselves.
Wasn't Lewis an Anglican?
Perelandra
That Hideous Strength
Out of the Silent Planet
Wonderful series indeed.
"the fact that it was based on Jesus was pretty much a no brainer."
It is a no brainer. His step-son said that it was not meant to be an allegory of Christ and that always confused me because it was just so obvious.
Yes, he was.
