This week we begin thinking about the role spirituality plays in literature. Where do you see the most spirituality still evident in modern culture outside the church? Think beyond things like contemporary Christian music and overtly religious works. Can you see its influence in other works?
I see spirituality shown in Harry Potter. It sort of shows that there is an evil element in the world : those who are evil, those who fight evil, and those who turn a blind eye to it.As Christians we have to train ourselves for the battle against evil, in the same way Harry trains to battle Lord Voldemort. The battle that goes on between Harry and Lord Voldemort over the series relates in the same way to the battle between good and evil, light and darkness, in our culture.
