the ChristianPost runs my column in defense of CS Lewis against the charge of Paganism
| May 14, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
I was delighted to learn today that the ChristianPost.com ran a column I wrote defending CS Lewis against the charge of Paganism. I mentioned this column a week or so ago, as my friends at LaiglesForum.com also ran it. You may not know that Lewis has been charged with such things, but even a half…
Article on Lewis and Paganism Published
| May 5, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
My friend Don Hank at Laigles Forum has published an article defending Lewis from the charge of paganism. Some of you might not even know the charge has been levied. Honestly, I don’t want to link to them, so you’ll have to Goodsearch your way to them. Below I have the first couple paragraphs and…
Is Paganism or Atheism More Dangerous to Christianity?
| February 4, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
Not long after I emerged from my own period of intense doubt, the Harry Potter series came onto the scene. I was aware of the Christian criticisms of the series, ie, that it was witchcraft and promoted paganism, etc. I didn’t think much about those arguments then and don’t today, either, for reasons discussed elsewhere…

Christian Response to the Golden Compass and NBC Heroes Continued
| November 7, 2007 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General, Philip Pullman |
I am currently working on a much lengthier reaction to Pullman’s His Dark Materials Series but I thought I would take a break and comment on this article that passed across my desk today from worldnetdaily.com categorizing the Pullman series as paganism. For example, this quote: “Pullman has been quoted in interviews as saying he…
Apologetics Bulletin Inserts for Churches Concept
| October 7, 2007 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
 The idea to produce bulletin inserts with apologetic content goes back several years with me. I had to set the idea aside because of pressing financial concerns.  My beloved wife has always insisted that it is one of my better ideas, so she prompted me to re-consider. Some friends ratified her view. Also, increasing…
An Open Letter to Christian Muggles…

As an author that is a Christian, I have followed the discussion about Harry Potter’s relationship to Christianity with interest but have generally stayed out of it. I have long believed that there were Christian themes percolating in the books, a belief that led me to accurately predict the fates of Snape and Malfoy (apparently unredeemable characters in the books). How intentional and deliberate Rowling was when exploring these themes I won’t speculate upon because that is something that she herself is in the best position to answer. However, her explicit inclusion of two Scriptures “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” and “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death” (#7, pgs 326 and 328, Matt. 6:21 and 1 Cor 15:26) suggests to me that anti-Harry Potter Christians would do well to re-consider their opposition and re-think their position.
