the Bible was burned.
Now it’s accepted
everywhere. We see it
as an open door for
evangelism.”

KIRIL SVILENOV ON
STAR WARS AS A PARABLE
Dr. Kiril Svilenov poses as a Jedi knight.
“Star Wars is one of my favorite movies. I first saw it in middle
school. I am using pictures from the movie to reveal truths about the
spiritual world. That is what Jesus did. He used parables. He used
everyday stories just to bring things closer to our understanding. Like,
for example, what is the Force? Letting the Force be with you is like
being born again and becoming a Christian. And the light saber – the
Bible says that God’s Word is a sword that we can use. It provides
light. So who is the Light? Simple things like that give people visual
images and help them understand the Gospel.”
