I must say, I found these reviews fascinating.  I've got two of the books
mentioned, Connie Neal's The Gospel According to Harry Potter and Francis
Bridger's A Charmed Life.  So far I've only read Connie Neal's.  Some of the
places she finds Christian imagry are a bit far fetched, but some are really
intresting.  (One of my favorite examples she uses is Harry's lightning bolt
scar being symbolic of the Biblical scripture that says Satan fell like
lightning from Heaven).

Now, a request here.  Is it possible for you to rate these books?  You know,
something like one a scale of one to ten, or out of a possible five stars.
That sort of thing.
