Spirituality in the “Twilight” saga

There are spiritual lessons to be gleaned from the fictional “Twilight” saga that has lots of folks abuzz these days.Newmoon

The premiere of the feature film “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” again brings to reel-life the love story of  Bella Swan and her vampire boyfriend Edward.

Beliefnet.com has a new posting offering Claudia Mair Burney’s perspective on the spirituality one can find in the popular tale of teen love and angst.

“I’m also a junkie for the Twilight Saga’s completely unrealistic love story. “Who acts like that?”, I ask myself, but I keep coming back. Deep down inside I knew who acted that way. Edward’s inhumanly perfect love and Bella’s passionate attachment to him echoed —don’t laugh—the sacred romance between God and me,” Burney wrote.

Check it out at “Spiritual Lessons of Twilight.”  

Saturday, Beliefnet.com will feature a movie review of the new film by Movie Mom Nell Minow.
