Greetings, long time no see.

Im reading the Chronicles of Narnia Complete 7 books and im loving it so far.

I've seen the 3 Movies aswell and apparently theres going to be a Neflix Series also.

Now what sort of bothers me about the Books and Movies if an Atheist saw/read them, how would they know about Christ and the Bible.

So my question is, have any of you read this Book which is all 7 Books with Scriptures.
 
Welcome, Daventry. Your concern resonates with me, but be of good cheer: NOT EVERY unreached soul needs to read the Bible as the VERY FIRST STEP toward knowing the actual Jesus. They'll never correctly grasp the truth of salvation if they DON'T get into the Bible; but there are other starting points. For instance: as a boy, in around 1964, I watched a remarkably intelligent science fiction movie titled "Robinson Crusoe On Mars." The astronaut hero appeared to be a Christian-- which startled me, given the default presumption of atheism in the sci-fi novels I had already been reading.

It was crucial that, by means of this movie, I saw that spiritual things could be addressed somewhere besides in a church service. Because of this, years later, I was more prepared to look for spiritual truth AT church.
 
Here is a Book by Frank Turek: Hollywood Heroes: How Your Favorite Movies Reveal God.


I dont see how those types of Movies reveal God or Jesus in some form or way, if all i want to be is the Hero or be a God like Thor.
 
Without yet having viewed the video you shared, I about ninety percent agree with you.

When I was a boy, my abnormal physical smallness made me wish that I had super-powers. The emotional compensation of such a fantasy is not necessarily EVIL, but it does little or nothing to promote accurate knowledge of God. It can even be a distraction.

I was nineteen years old when I first began to study the Bible. Reading about the prophetic gift of the original Joseph in Genesis, I initially wanted to believe that Joseph was a PSYCHIC, rather than a man of faith who RECEIVED information from God at God's initiative. I was laboring under the fundamental error of the occultist: wanting to have powers which BELONGED TO ME.
