OverviewHarry Potter has not only had many fans, but also many critics. Some of the criticism has been religiously motivated. But is Harry Potter really as un-Christian as these critics suggest? Come and join Jacob Schriftman as he explores the world and worldview of J.K. Rowling's Fantasy, drawing comparisons to Christian writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, as well as to explicitly non-Christian ones like Philip Pullman and H.G. Wells. In the process of analysis, Schriftman deals both with literary and existential questions. Should Harry Potter be understood as a parody of our own society? How does Harry Potter treat serious issues? It is common for humans to ask, Where do we come from? What can we know? What should we do? Do we have a purpose? And how do we approach death? These questions are woven into Harry Potter, and some of the answers take a surprising turn. A book that delights as much as it instructs, a challenge to fans and skeptics alike.
