I am half way through the second book- began reading as soon as I saw the trailer. I am intrigued.
I agree with Rosi. I am a Christian and I do not have a problem with his literary approach or his theology (once I truly determine what that is).
Sure, if anti-Christian, I suppose I should be concerned. Nevertheless, dialogue about theology and ANY mystery is what it's all about. I have no true answers - neither does Pullman. (I'd be arrogant in the extreme to claim authoritive knowledge. So would he.) The nature of good and evil and the universe or creation is open for analysis and certainly honest discussion.
Biltmore says he is tired of all the "christian crap these days." Me too- mainly when it is a corrupted version of what is actually quite a beautiful thing. I have no wonder sometimes that people avoid or openly hate Christianity- especially when it fears confrontation or discussion.
BTW- I am very excited to see the film. i am a sucker for a good trailer- especially when the trailer's music builds the tension and wnder as well as this one does.
