Recently, we have been looking at biblical allusions in popular music. An allusion is not when something just mentions the word “God” or “Lord.” Many songs include the word “God” but are not referring to the Bible. An allusion is an expression that refers to something without mentioning it directly. There are many biblical allusions in music, movies, ads, etc. We talked about some examples in class of movies that make you think of God such as Narnia. When Aslan the lion dies and comes back to life, this is a representation of God. Allusions are important to recognize because they help you appreciate the film more. They help you analyze and interpret the film in depth.
