Religious Censorship and A Wrinkle in Time

wrinkle in time

Although I was skeptical in choosing a book that we discussed in class, I do find myself drawn to the religious elements of A Wrinkle in Time. There seems to be nothing too outlandish when it comes to L’engle’s use of religious elements (apart from the story itself being weird image-wise), so I wonder why exactly this book is targeted on the grounds of religion. Although I haven’t found anything in particular about the book’s challenging other than “religious reasons” with no context, it is interesting to see how people want Christianity to be delivered to readers, and if the message isn’t conveyed in the style that they wish for it to be, then it’s automatically considered “wrong” or “immoral.” I hope in re-reading the book and picking different elements of it, I’ll find something that helps to clear things up for me.
