Prince Caspian Research Paper

Improved Essays
Sometimes things are unexplainable and all that someone can explain is their faith without the explanation of how. Prince Caspian’s faith is tested to the max but shows how strong his faith is when there is no answer to how. Aslan nor the Narnians have ever been seen by Prince Caspian but he always heard about them from his doctor. It was his choice to either believe or not believe the doctors stories of the accent creatures. When someone chooses to believe in something they gain faith for whatever it may be. C.S. Lewis is a firm believer in Christ and his faith for Christ. He shows a theme of faith in the book and he correlates it with Christian faith. Lewis portrays a Christian theme in Prince Caspian by actions and words of the characters in the book.

God has only been down on this earth once and Aslan has only been to his holy place once. A few people got to witness Jesus’s lifetime but many had to just have faith in the stories. Lewis shows that the Narnians haven’t seen their king in years but they like to believe “in the meantime he would like us to do what we can on our own” (Lewis 13.1). He portrays the Christian theme of faith here again when the Narnians choose to have faith that Aslan is coming back and they will do what they can while he is gone. After the Narnians beat Prince Caspian’s evil uncle the high ruler commanded,
“Peter bestowed the Knighthood of the Order of the Lion on Caspian, and Caspian, as soon as he was knighted, himself bestowed it on Trufflehunter and Trumpkin and Reepicheep, and made Doctor Cornelius his Lord Chancellor, and confirmed the Bulgy Bear in his hereditary office of Marshal of the Lists. And there was great applause.” (15.20)
Jesus picks who is in his army and who is high in his army, and Lewis shows here that the Narnians do it the same way. Lewis shows how faithful the Narnians are and how faithful Christians should

    The Roman church had not yet been visited and had no New Testament because the gospels were not yet being circulated in their final written form. Thus, this letter may well have been the first piece of Christian literature the Roman believers had seen. In Roman culture to choose to be a servant was unthinkable. Paul was a Roman citizen but chose to be entirely dependent on and abide in Christ Jesus (Romans 1:1). Paul’s impact was made known because of his citizenship and willingness to serve and obey Jesus…

Lewis has brought us one of the world's greatest book series, The Chronicles of Narnia. Although C.S.

    1. Share your observations and impressions of the book and Lewis’s argument. The book "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis offers an insight into the Christian world that I, and many other teenagers and even adults, probably have never even thought about or considered. When first reading the book I was frustrated with C.S. Lewis. The way he explained things made me feel as if he was trying to reach out to me, and any other reader, as if we were completely clueless to Christianity.…
