Al Mohler on 'The Golden Compass'

Dr. Mohler's perspective on this startling new movie based on a trilogy of books written by Phillip Pullman is laced with his usual blend of well researched opinion and well balanced approach. The books were popular but the movie, starring Daniel Craig (the new James Bond) and Nichole Kidman, is being released in a few weeks and promises to be a big Christmas Blockbuster. Here are a few excerpts from his article:

Pullman's attack on biblical Christianity is direct and undeniable. He once questioned why his books attracted little controversy even as the Harry Potter books attracted so much. He told an Australian newspaper that what he is "saying things that are far more subversive than anything poor old Harry has said. My books are about killing God."

.....Put simply, Pullman hates C. S. Lewis's work The Chronicles of Narnia. He told Hannah Rosin that Lewis's famous work is "morally loathsome" and "one of the most ugly and poisonous things I ever read." Narnia, he said, "is the Christian one . . . . And mine is the non-Christian."
