Harry Potter in the Bible

Posted on May 2, 2014 by Brenton Dickieson

This is worth reading. We are desperately lacking as literary readers when it comes to the Bible. Even Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens recognize its literary import. I would suggest that Harry Potter can take us deeper and explore some of the more significant themes of Scripture. But we must know the original voice to know what echoes are. Thanks Rob!

About Brenton Dickieson

“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing. This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box. Brenton Dickieson (PhD, Chester) is a father, husband, friend, university lecturer, and freelance writer from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Check out my Linktree: https://linktr.ee/brentondickieson
