The Passion of CS Lewis
Just read this on the NY Review of Books. I think it nicely summarizes some of the more obvious problems with the Narnia books. The article also deals somewhat with the nature of Aslan which I think is crucial when it comes to understanding what God asks from us. Aslan does look a lot like what I would call a worldly, ie, reductive power figure. There is, in other words, no paradox, no confusion in God’s being, that would allow us freedom and possibility. Its theology for sunday school, not serious readers.
