I have a new post up at Christianity Today<\/em> on why there\u2019s a difference between critics and haters.<\/p>\n

As I have written (and illustrated) earlier, sometimes, when you review a book that most people loved less-than-positively, the responses are more or less like this:<\/p>\n

$\"reviewstrip3\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s often the assumption that the critic is like that critic in the Disney\/Pixar movie Ratatouille,<\/em> who seems to get pleasure from ripping apart other people\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n

As I wrote in the piece:<\/p>\n

At its best, though, criticism seeks to expand the reader or viewer\u2019s understanding of the primary work\u2014whether a book, an album, a film, or a blog post. Good criticism is deeply considered and well-crafted. As blogger Andrew Sullivan wrote:<\/a> \u201cA great critic can help us to figure out what is going on [in a piece of work] and to appreciate it in a richer way.\u201d Think of it as expository preaching for non-sacred texts.<\/em><\/p>\n
