If you haven’t heard about the Twilight book series by Stephanie Meyer, then you’re about to be introduced to it through the eyes of Hollywood. The film based on the series’ first novel premieres this weekend with fanfare similar to that given to Harry Potter.
The book and film chronicle the development of a love affair between a vampire named Edward and a teenage girl named Bella. The unlikely romance has captured the hearts of millions of teenage girls, and those numbers will undoubtedly continue to rise after the movie’s release.
Q&A:
Have you read any of the Twilight series of novels? If so, what is your opinion of the books?
Why do you think girls are so drawn to Edward and Bella’s relationship?
I think that girls just go nuts over these books because they want a man, or boy, or guy (whatever you would call him) to treat them like he treats the character Bella. They should consider that God has a man like that for them if they just ask him for that kind of love from a man.

I thinks its because Edwards character is self sacrificial in his love for Bella. Every Girl longs for some guy to fill that roll weather its a dad, boyfriend, or husband. Its their longing for an earthly example of God love for his church .

Interesting thought. Do you think the author had any intention of having Edward be a Christ-archetype?
