Apocalyptic inquiries and Narnia updates

Posted by tom | Aug 10, 2007

A friend on InterVarsity staff is writing his DMin thesis on the book of Revelation.  He desires to include in his writing and in a 4 part sermon series this September, illustrations from a popular sci-fi/fantasy piece which focuses on apocalyptic themes.  LOTR and Matrix have come forward as the top suggestions -- a special thank-you to Andy for giving me some counsel in the early stages of the inquiry.  If my friend chooses to use one or both of these pieces, would you have a helpful academic paper/resource for him to reference (note:  on-line links would be appreciated).   Does anyone happen to have another option or 2 for him to consider?  How about that topic for conversation at an InterVarsity staff conference . . . anyone tempted to join me on staff to have such opportunities? Let me know. 

In case you haven't read, more available on Prince Caspain and beyond and Walden Media's site. Looking forward to the claimed consistency, hope that it doesn't go astray with the chance to embellish. With an annual release goal, maybe it would be a good time to start reading the series again and proposed an adult elective at our local assembly. It's been awhile since I've explored Lewis' material with others.
