The allure of fantasy continues to grow with film adaptations of
"The Lord of the Rings "and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
But how should Christians approach modern works of fantasy,
especially debated points such as magic and witches?
"From Homer to Harry Potter "provides the historical background
readers need to understand this timeless genre. It explores the
influence of biblical narrative, Greek mythology, and Arthurian
legend on modern fantasy and reveals how the fantastic offers
profound insights into truth. The authors draw from a Christian
viewpoint informed by C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien to assess
modern authors such as Philip Pullman, Walter Wangerin, and J. K.
Rowling.
This accessible book guides undergraduate students, pastors, and
lay readers to a more astute and rewarding reading of all fantasy
literature.
