A TEOLOGIA DAS FRONTEIRAS DO UNIVERSO

Abstract

In December 2007 there was the world launching of The Golden Compass, adaptation of the English man author Philip Pullman’s blockbuster. The goal of the present article is to present, in an interdisciplinary approach, combining elements from literary criticism and the history of Christian thought, an analysis of the referred book. The questions that guide the research that generates the present article are: Are the present criticisms relevant against Pullman’s fantasy? What is the present theology in the trilogy of “Frontiers of the Universe”, effectively? However, the main question that we will try to answer is: is the trilogy considered an upside down reading of Milton’s “Lost Paradise”?
