Last week, we sent out an e-mail about the film version of Philip Pullman\u2019s The Golden Compass.<\/em> It included a link to Alan Jacob\u2019s interview with Ken Myers about the novels<\/span><\/a> upon which the film is based. <\/span>We also included the summary of the interview from the Mars Hill Audio website. We found Professor Jacob\u2019s response to be fair and balanced in its view of the quality, purpose, and style of Pullman\u2019s His Dark Materials<\/em> trilogy and thought it worth sharing with our many friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although we merely intended it to serve as a resource for each reader\u2019s individual discernment, we soon learned that some readers of the e-mail assumed that our official stance was against the film and that we advocated a boycott of the movie. While several readers were in favor of this stance and cheered us on, others were surprised that we would take such a position. One reader, much to our surprise, rebuked us for \u201cbiasing [people] in advance\u201d rather than recommending that they decide for themselves, which is precisely what we thought we had done. Others sent us further resources on the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

In view of the spirited response to our e-mail, we decided to create a space<\/a> where our friends and supporters can safely weigh in with their thoughts and their voices on important issues of the day. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So what is an appropriate response to Pullman\u2019s works? We invite you to tell us!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
