Christ and Pop Culture
How, you may ask, is it possible for a “film version” of the Book of Kells to remove all reference to Christianity, since the Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript of the four gospels? It seems that the Irish animated film The Secret of Kells references none of the content of the gospels, so does it tell the story of the Irish monks who illustrated the book? Sort of . . . according to the Irish Times, “the film follows Brendan, a plucky 12-year-old, as he fights magical serpents and Vikings while in pursuit of an enchanted crystal.”
Why even bother to put “Kells” in the title?
