noticeable in C.S. Lewis’ books and especially in the Chronicles of Narnia. From Aslen breathing on the statues bringing life back into them to Aslen being resurrected back to life, these great writings show how great fantasy writing can be and the great worlds that Lewis created from his own imagination.

The advertisement would be published on the front counter at the bookstore so when people come to buy one of the books they will see ‘fiction of the…
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…
From a lamp post that was there from the beginning and the girl that finds it to a talking lion that all you want to do is love and a witch that had the power to free the world over C.S. Lewis has brought us one of the world's greatest book series, The Chronicles of Narnia. Although C.S. Lewis is recognized throughout the world as a great Christian thinker, philosopher, apologist and writer, his theology often fails to meet the standards of most Evangelicals and is often at odds with the broader…

After reading the 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’…
