"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571

The Chronicles of Narnia

I exhort all of you, gentle readers, to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as soon as possible. I saw it this afternoon and it is marvelous! I was somewhat skeptical going in, considering Disney's wretched track record with films based upon fine literature and their dicey history when it comes to fair depictions of Christianity. But this film is FIRST RATE. It is without doubt the most faithful adaptation of a book onto film I have ever seen. Granted, it has been a year since I last read the story so I probably missed a few minor differences between Lewis' originally text and this film. But my strong impression today was that the screenplay was overwhelmingly faithful to the book (thanks be to God). The Christian allegory is all still there in full force. And the story is beautifully photographed. A big "thumbs up" from me. See it immediately!
