Christians on Superman

Christian reviewers take the new take on the Man of Steel many different ways:

Steven Greydanus likes it.

Thomas Hibbs doesn’t.

Keith Howland likes it.

Peter Chattaway doesn’t (very much).

None of these has anything on Acton’s own Jordan Ballor, however, who analyzes the film with penetrating insight (or X-ray vision, as one is tempted to say…).
