What is literature? How does it point us to truth? Do stories have the power to transform us? In this class we will explore whether Harry Potter is literature or not. We will compare it to the Bible and other literature such as Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Emma, Shakespeare, Grimm Fairy Tales, and the Arthurian legends. We will explore literary references, narrative structure, use of hero’s journey, characterization, and Christian symbolism as well as references to faith and spiritual transformation and good vs. evil. In doing so, students will be challenged to reflect on their own faith and beliefs and the state of their own spiritual journey. Students are expected to bring a Bible to class.
