Christianity in “Narnia”
One of the best things this Mormon did over the Christmas holiday season was see The Chronicles of Narnia. I’m not a big fan of fantasy movies generally, but as a symbol of Christianity, Narnia was an excellent movie. The symbolism is easy to see — the lion Aslan is the benevolent king who allows himself to be killed by his enemies to save the life of a traitor. There are other important details, as well, such as the resurrection, the freeing of the “prisoners”, and the kingdoms the humans inherit in the end. I think anyone who watches Narnia with the mindset of looking for Christian symbolism will appreciate the reminder of what Jesus did for us.
