The Alabaster Jar

S2 E12 | Beth Felker Jones | The Twilight Saga & Biblical Sexuality


Listen Later

The bestselling Twilight Saga tells the story of a regular girl’s relationship with a vampire who has chosen to follow his “good” side. But the Saga isn’t just another fantasy–it’s teaching girls about love, sex, and purpose. With millions of copies sold and several blockbuster films, it is time to ask the important question: Can vampires teach us about God’s plan for love? Beth Felker Jones's book Touched by a Vampire investigates the themes of the Twilight Saga from a Biblical perspective. Beth and Lynn explore how some Christian readers have praised moral principles illustrated in the story, such as premarital sexual abstinence, which aligns with Meyer’s Mormon beliefs. But ultimately, there are gaps in the sexual ideal when compared to the Bible.
