...evangelical ticket-buyer. But there are different ways to go about it. The Passion of the Christ, for instance, was marketed to evangelical leaders and had an overarching message-an unflinching focus on Christ?s Atonement-that spoke to the center of evangelical belief. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe the Christian symbolism was much more subtle, but the movie adapted a beloved work by one of Evangelicalism?s most revered interpreters, C. S. Lewis, and was authorized by his stepson...
Richard Corliss's review of the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe [Dec. 19] stated that director Andrew Adamson should "stick to animation." Here is a test. Does Narnia make the spirit soar? Does Narnia cause the imagination to fly? Does Narnia make you think, make you wonder, make you aspire?

The trio drives along endless dirt roads until they reach a small town, where they attempt to pick up gas and the girls are sexually...
...work is flawless or that the theology of “Narnia” is particularly persuasive. There are serious problems in confusing the Biblical Jesus with Aslan the lion, and evil in the real world is never personified as clearly as it is in the White Witch and her coterie of demons and beasts. Lewis did not, however, write the “Chronicles” to be a finely tuned theological treatise; he wrote it as a children’s story. If one tries to read it as some sort of gospel?...
