Christian Opinion Roundup

The Christian Today (UK) has posted a very thorough article summarizing how "Both the Church and Hollywood have buried the hatchet in an unprecedented display of unity, with the country’s churches leaping on the opportunity to put out a strong Christian message into British popular culture." Maria Mackay does a nice job of putting together comments about the marketing spin, the evangelsim spin, and the anti-Hollywood spin&with some sober "let's take a moment and think about this" reaction thrown in the mix. Very balanced.

I'm not entirely sure where to file this commentary, so I'll put it here. The Book Standard offers an article titled, "On The Degree To Which C.S. Lewis Ought To Be Embraced By Christians And/Or Disney Execs." Entertaining and insightful, the article makes observations such as the following: "This is not the Left Behind series, which dictates a certain view of the world. It's not The Da Vinci Code, which challenges certain beliefs. Lewis's works shouldn't be subject to this kind of reductionism."

Christianity Today has issued a press release detailing its online resources for investigating the Christian angle on Narnia.
