Lest someone misunderstand, my defense of the Twilight series should not be taken to mean that I think that there are no questionable aspects to them or that, given the wealth of literature available one should choose to read the Twilight books. My point is that if people are going to read them, especially impressionable teens, then it behooves us to be able to direct them to those positive aspects which can be found therein.
That’s kind of my whole goal in hermeneutics in a nutshell.
