Aslan

Reza Aslan Challenges ‘the Muslim Stereotype’ With extremism on the rise, the insinuation of Islam promoting violence and aggression is more and more common. Reza proves why “painting with a single brush” can be so wrong. The Friday night preceding this interview, comedian Bill Mahar equated the extremist group ISIS to the greater majority Muslim countries of the world. Reza Aslan appeared on CNN to discuss Mahar’s comments with two of their anchors and to respond to their over-simplified…

series, one could easily come to the conclusion that Lewis must have been very passionate about the relationship between God and man. Although it was not Lewis’ original intent to write about Aslan as Jesus, there are many similarities between the two and one can find many parallels between the character of Aslan and how the Christian Bible describes Jesus. When reading through several books in the Narnia series,…

saw Edmund again at the Stone Table because when I woke up he was talking with Aslan. Oh how I wonder what Aslan told Edmund or what happened with the witch but Aslan said not to ask him and I was like thats is really going to be hard. I was really worried when I saw the Queen but when Aslan saw the witch he did nothing but talk and that was at the point when I was really curious about what was going on because first Aslan has a private talk with Edmund and then the witch came and declares…

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as an Allegory The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written by C.S. Lewis, is filled with symbolism and mythological influences, both Christian and non-Christian. These influences manifest themselves in the forms of allusions and parallels. C.S. Lewis uses these allusions and parallels between the real world and Narnia in order to present his work The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as an allegory. It is important to note the factors that influenced the…

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…

Wardrobe says of Aslan, “Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good” (Lewis, p, 86 2015). Mr. Beaver persuasive tone yet frightening voice warms Lucy that she can trust Aslan. However, beware of his mighty size, strength, power, speed, and his load roar can shake the land of Narnia. “if there is anyone can appear before Aslan with their knees knocking” (Lewis, p.86 2005). Mr. Beaver, describes Aslan as good, which means he will not harm you, he is here to protect you from the evil Witch. Aslan is…

the final judgement reflects a distinctly Catholic theology through its communication of God’s saving power, human will, Divine judgement. Lewis communicates the saving power of God through his inclusion in the new Narnia of those who did not know Aslan before their judgement. The most notable of these is the calormene, Emeth, who embodies those of pagan faith. The Catholic Church teaches that there is no salvation outside of it, but…

For example, she is the one that drag Edmund into her castle and to betray his sisters and brother. In order to have what she want, she uses maleficent ways. For example, she is cruel when it is time to kill Aslan on the Stone Table. The following quote shows the nature of evil of the Witch: “Stop! said the Witch. Let him first be shaved” (Lewis 153). She is already mean, but in order to humiliate him more, she decided to cut off his fur. This is the real…

Narnians—those who remained true to Aslan—and the Telmarines and some of the dwarves, especially Nikabrik. The Old Narnians are characterized as those who “believe in fairy tales.” King Miraz, who has usurped young Caspian’s throne, berates him: “That’s all nonsense, for babies…Only fit for babies, do you hear? You’re getting too old for that sort of stuff.” Even Trumpkin, the dwarf who is eventually convinced of the reality of Aslan, says early on, “But who believes in Aslan nowadays?” Trumpkin…
