Why is the 'Chronicles of Narnia" a Christian series?

I saw the series (DVD and books) in almost all the Christian book/music stores and I was just wonderin because I saw the movie and it was good but I don't get how it's related o at least not 'rejected' like Harry Potter series. Is there some context in the story that's...related to cristianismo o something?

I'm going to leave this up to Dearheart to answer. She loves this series, and will do it better justice than I could.

Yes, Narnia is full of Christian symbolism. Aslan is clearly a Christ-figure (does "the Lion of Judah" ring any bells?), and C. S. Lewis left many clues for the reader to find in his books.

The biggest would probably be the children being referred to as "the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve", Aslan's death and resurrection in LWW ("When a willing victim who has committed no treachery is killed in a traitor's stead, Death itself will start working backwards..."), and His transformation from Lion to cordero in VDT (plus telling Ed and Lucy that He "has another name" in our world). There are several other nods to cristianismo scattered throughout the series, but I'll let tu find them. =)

Many people consider the Chronicles of Narnia to be Christian allegory, but technically that's incorrect. C. S. Lewis described the Narnia libros not as allegories, but as "supposals". In other words, "What would happen if jesús existed in another world, in another form, and did there what He did here on Earth?" So while Aslan is definitely meant to be Jesus, the other characters don't specifically represent anyone (except maybe the White Witch representing Satan...but she has a backstory of her own, so that's debatable). That's one of the great things about the Narnia series; Lewis lets your imagination play around with the possibilities. =)

Hope that respuestas your question! If tu need anymore explanation, let me know!

I dunno, ask C.S. Lewis. He's the guy who wrote the thing. Good on tu 4 lectura them, though. (Personally, I haven't gotten further than the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) tee hee hee!

Actually Chronicles of Narnia is a really good reference of God because jesús died for us and he didn't do anything wrong.(Like how Aslan died with no good reason.) jesús rose from the dead(like Aslan)Jesus is going to get ángeles (the people turned into stone)to fight Satan(the White Witch). When they say Aslan is on the mover in the movie, they are saying jesús is on the mover like he's coming. Aslan saved people just like God does.

Yes they are because Aslan is like God.The kids are like the diciples o us who are fighting on God's side.The white Witch is like satan and her followers are like the sin that tempts us and satans followers.It's saying how there is always a battle going between God and Satan and God's children and the temptations of sin.That's my interpretation of it.
