Now Exploring Books 1 - 7! Is Harry Potter a Christ figure? Was book 7 a metaphor for the resurrection? Just how much did religion help shape J. K Rowling and the moral worldview of the most popular books of all time? Connie Neal has these answers and more! With the Harry Potter series now complete, fans of Harry Potter will be eager to read this revised and updated edition of The Gospel according to Harry Potter. This new edition includes discussion of all seven of the books in the Harry Potter series, including book seven, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Neal, an author and youth minister, finds many glimmers of the gospel in the stories of Harry Potter, Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and the other characters who inhabit the magical world of Hogwarts.

Customer Reviews

Awsome!
I used this book in a Bible study we did for my youth group and I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in seeing just how theological the Harry Potter books are. Your mind will be blow with the verse by verse comparisons and ideas that this cultural phenomenon has with one of the oldest scriptures in the world.

Connie Neal: long-time Potter defender at her best.
I have read Connie Neal's other book's dating from 2002 and always found her points interesting. In the past, she was more "let's all get along" between Harry Potter fans and foes. Now, her latest work is nicely updated and makes stronger Christian comparisons than before since Rowling's series is complete.

Along these lines, I also highly recommend the very compelling "Does Harry Potter Tickle Sleeping Dragons?" by author, Nancy Solon Villaluz also available here at Amazon.com. (Click above on "see all my reviews" to read my review of it.) Certainly, Ms. Neal and Ms. Villaluz's works nicely complement each other in this emerging area of Potter discovery.
