Vincent Farino Narnia

I found another relation to Christ and Aslan in The Chronicles of Narnia book, as described by Mr. Beaver. In Narnia, there is a quote about Aslan that reveals a religious undertone. Aslan, who is symbolic as Christ, in Narnia is described by Mr. Beaver as, “Safe? Of course he isn’t safe! But he’s good." This relates to Christ in the Bible as he is described as, “A consuming fire” and “The prince of peace” (NIV). Both of these descriptions reveal the character of Christ as “not safe, but good.” I believe that those two descriptions are very powerful, and that Lewis most likely intended to describe Aslan in that way.
