Interpretation Toward Books The Tower of Geburah (Archives of Anthropos #3)

The Archives of Anthropos are essentially a poor imitation of The Chronicles of Narnia, originally written at the request of theologian John White's children for a story that was "just like Narnia."

Unfortunately, while C.S. Lewis was a mythologist first and a theologian second, White is a theologian first and a mythologist somewhere down the line, and it shows. The books are decent allegory-fantasy, drawing on classical and biblical mythology - quest-based action adventure stories with good character arcs. But the allegory is rather too obvious, some of the names are a bit corny, and the setting doesn't quite convince.

Don't misunderstand me - I enjoyed this series as a kid and read it through multiple times. But I re-read Narnia as an adult and I love it just as much - though perhaps for different reasons - as I did as when it was first read to me as a five-year-old.

Goodreads lists the Tower of Geburah as #3 but, like the Narnia books, the Archives of Anthropos are best read in real-world publication order, rather than internal world-order. In this case that's 3, 4, 1, 2, all equally decent stories. 5 is fine, but I'd not suggest bothering with 6.

Judgment Based On Books The Tower of Geburah (Archives of Anthropos #3)
I think this book is probably best read aloud. The beginning feels rather rushed, as though the author just can't wait to get the adventure started, while later chapters are very engaging. Some chapters feel as though they needed one or two more edits, but the story is great. It has a kind of Narnia/L.O.T.R. feel to it.Three siblings are transported to a different world, Anthropos, in order to help save it from destruction. This is very much a Christian allegory. It does have some parts that may

This was the first book I read of the series and probably my favorite, I think. It has been years since I read these books though. When I originally read this book I probably had an original copy with a different cover that was sitting around my house. Several years later I saw books 1-5 on sale in a CBD catalog or something and got them. It must have been before 2001 though because I don't ever remember seeing book 6 before sometime in recent past on goodreads.

I haven't read this yet, but I am sure the series will be amazing. My dad, John's son, told me it was like Narnia, so I would probably like it. I've only really looked through the first few chapters because I had other things to read but I'm sure my grandpa did a great good :D

An inferior imitation of Lewis and Tolkien, but has some merit of its own. Particularly drawn to White's depiction of Gaal the Shepherd, his Christ figure. I enjoyed this as a child, and Hannah enjoyed this reading as well.

This may be the worst four star book in my books, but I read it about a thousand times as a kid and "really liked it" every time. It's no work of great literature, but it sure resonated with me for some reason. The others in the series weren't quite as good though....
