Book Review(s): Baptizing Harry Potter into Spirituality

Baptizing Harry Potter: A Christian Reading of J.K. Rowling by Luke Bell


Once more, this is another book about combining Harry Potter and Christianityc-- the one topic written most about when discussing Harry Potter. Luke Bell is just bringing his own ideas into the equation.

Bell drives straight into his exploration by discussing the series' structure; going beyond the things we understand, such as Heaven; good and evil;  life and death; power and weakness; love and sacrifice; freedom and determination; truth; and purity of heart.

Bell is successful at intelligently evaluating and explaining these topics to their fullest. It was well-thought out and engaging. 

I loved it.  


A Charmed Life: the Spirituality of Potterworld by Francis Bridger

  Bridger's book falls neatly in line with Bell's book. 

It was enjoyable. 


**sorry for the lame review. I read these a while back.
