Synopsis
Now those who have read C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe can see where Lewis found his inspiration, and the book's many biblical parallels and symbols from cultural and classical mythology. They will learn about what Lewis called The Story Within the Story--the great allegorical elements of Aslan's sacrifice and resurrection. The highly anticipated release of the film The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at the end of 2005 is generating renewed interest in the Chronicles of Narnia and in C.S. Lewis. All Christian families, Christian school teachers, Sunday school teachers, and church youth leaders will find this book useful as they help children learn more about the book that inspired the movie.
