Movies and the Culture

Prince Caspian
Do you recall ever hearing about Richard Niebuhr’s classic, Christ and Culture? It
outlines the five prevalent ways Christians have interacted with culture:

  • Christ against Culture
  • Christ of Culture
  • Christ above Culture
  • Christ and Culture in Paradox
  • Christ Transforming Culture.

I am pumped to see The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, “a 2008 fantasy film based on Prince Caspian, the second published novel in C. S. Lewis’ children’s fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia.”

This promises to be a good example of how (Christian) works can attempt to transform culture, not merely oppose the bad already out there.
