When one hears all the shrill, alarmist language from some quarters of Christendom concerning a movie like The Golden Compass, some of us may be tempted to respond with a, “C’mon, is it that bad?”
This is understandable, considering that similar shrieks greeted every Harry Potter book and movie. However, The Golden Compass is a quite different issue.
For an excellent overview of the movie, the books on which it is based, and the not-so-hidden agenda of author Philip Pullman, please visit this link to an article by Dr. Albert Mohler. Dr. Mohler is always a measured voice, yet a clear thinker and excellent communicator.
