Praeparatio evangelii
By Peter Leithart
One Axel Schmidt has written a book entitled:
Die Suche nach dem rechten Lebens-Mittel. Harry Potter als Beispiel einer modernen praeparatio Evangelii .
“Harry Potter” is part of the subtitle, of course, the Harry Potter that, for Schmidt, is an “example of a modern preparation of the gospel.”
Harry Potter. He’s like Plato.
