Last month this column looked at the book |From Homer to Harry Potter| by Matthew Dickerson and David O’Hara. In it, they take a look at the great myths and the best of fantasy in fiction throughout the ages to show the presence of a far greater Truth and Narrative running through them.
They see echoes and shadows of the gospel story within these tales as they tell of good and evil, power and weakness, courage, heroism and, at times, even salvation and forgiveness.
