The Secrets of Harry Potter
Aug. 14, 2007 Dave BarnhartI almost forgot: a wonderful source for Christian insight on Harry Potter is Fr. Roderick’s podcast, The Secrets of Harry Potter. I’ll be using some of Fr. Roderick’s ideas in my next sermon, Who’s Afraid of You-Know-Who? in the series All I Really Need to Know I Learned at Hogwarts.
Several people have emailed and talked to me about the first sermon, Defense Against the Dark Arts. Thanks for the feedback and the questions!
The passage I quoted is from Romans 14, and the translation I used is The Message, which uses very contemporary language. If you click the link above, you will be taken to Biblegateway.com, and you can use a pull-down menu to see how it’s worded in other translations.

Thanks for the recommendation, Linda! I will check it out.

Bravo!
Andy and I share a favorite book, Mister God, This is Anna. Anna saw God everywhere. It is not a trite book but one so deep that many people simply can’t relate to it. Andy uses in eulogies when a child dies, I believe, but I use it all the time to look for the God answers and the God questions. I think you’d like it if you aren’t familiar with it.
