Jedi Theology
This is a paper I had to write for my class. It’s a bit more interesting than some of my other posts lately. It was 1977. I was eight years old and my dad was taking my younger brother and I to the movies. Just going to the movies at all was a rare treat,…

But this was not a typical movie. I loved all the imagery and Christian metaphors. Lucy (disciple) stumbles through a wardrobe (salvation)…
