    The Chronicles of Narnia book series, for years, has been under the watchful eye of Christians and Non-Christians alike in search of Biblical parallels. There are the more obvious parallels: Aslan’s death on the Stone Table in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe/Jesus’ death on the cross, the Rapture/the end of Old Narnia in The Last Battle, and the two creation stories found in Genesis/The Magician’s Nephew. However, there are far more subtle Biblical parallels that Lewis himself might not even have realized that he had written. One of those such parallels I will discuss here: how Lucy and Susan’s character and attitudes in Prince Caspian relate to Mary and Martha of Bethany.…
