One Tree Hill was a nine season television show running from 2003-2012 focusing on half brothers Nathan and Lucas Scott and they're relationships with each other and their friends as they make their way through high school, as all-stars on their basketball team and their individual transitions into adulthood. This webpage will focus on One Tree Hill and its various aspects of religion including:
1. The portrayal of church on the show. The characters are mainly shown going to church in a time of need, when they have done something wrong and are going to confessional or seeking forgiveness. I will be discussing religion and how it is portrayed on One Tree Hill including the act of prayer, going to confession and seeking forgiveness.
2. The use of the Bible in One Tree Hill. I will show One Tree Hill has used God, and the Bible on the show during various plot points, including the blackmailing of Dan Scott, the death of Quentin Fields and during character monologues in the show. I will show the various points in the show where the Bible is used and discuss how using the Bible enhanced the plot points of the episode.
3. Teenage Relationships - Too Much Too Fast? One of the main relationships throughout all nine seasons of One Tree Hill is that of Nathan and Haley. They were married and had a baby all before graduating high school On this page I will discuss how this relationship affects its viewers - although the couple did get married before having sex, was doing so before graduating high school too early and does teenage relationships on television affect teenage relationships in the real world? I will discuss the act of saving yourself before marriage, pre-marital sex, and teenage relationships as seen from a religious point of view.
