I’ve not yet seen this film version of the first of Philip Pullman’s trilogy His Dark Materials … but I’m looking forward to it!

There’s lots that Christians will want to think about. If you are a film buff and are planning a movie trip soon, or if you enjoyed the novels, check out some of the stuff here (plus its interesting links), or here.

Or watch this brand new 7-minute YouTube clip where two Christians from CultureWatch discuss the movie.

A new film to be released this month tells the story of the British statesman and reformer William Wilberforce and his fight, two hundred years ago, to abolish the British slave trade.The film shows the link from Wilberforce to John Newton, himself a slave trader who incredibly became a Christian and wrote the famous hymn ‘Amazing Grace’ as his personal testimony.
