I came across a much much <em>much</em> longer article earlier this year: <a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0OON/is_1-2_26/ai_n21130448"><em>Letters to Malcolm and the trouble with Narnia</em></a> (by way <a href="http://markshea.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html#995398980115293964">Mark Shea's blog</a>) This hasn't really affected my enjoyment of Lewis' works. Mel and I also love Narnia and we can't wait to see Prince Caspian in the theatres (subject to babysitting too!) It just means that I wouldn't use Narnia as a way to teach concepts about Christianity to somebody. You could still point out ideas in Narnia that draw from Christianity. But I wouldn't use the Narnia stories to draw conclusions about Christianity - I think this could be a natural inclination since in many ways the Narnia stories are very similar to ideas and events from Christianity. So, we enjoy Narnia for what it is, a fantastic set of stories set in a wonderful world with characters that we grow to love.booksgenerallewisnarniatolkienhttps://atlee.ca/posts/blog20080516re-tolkien-didnt-like-narnia/Fri, 16 May 2008 12:12:42 GMT
