The Archbishop of Canterbury is not the only orthodox Christian
admirer of the works; see the review at:

http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0105/reviews/moloney.html

which concludes with:

Such a story is not subversive of Christianity, it is almost
Christian, even if only implicitly and imperfectly. But implicit and
imperfect Christianity is often our lot in life, and Pullman has
unintentionally created a marvelous depiction of many of the human
ideals Christians hold dear.
