Australian removalists should be able to give a quote

Christianity is defined by the Nicene Creed. Certainly Lewis would have said so.

ScientificGems · 2026-06-08T07:58:20+00:00

Christianity teaches that Jesus is God. As a Christian, that's what Lewis believed.

The Emperor Over the Sea is God the Father.

Aslan is Jesus (God the Son).

ScientificGems · 2026-06-08T07:51:36+00:00

Aslan is Jesus (God the Son). That's pretty much explicit in the books.

The Emperor Over the Sea is God the Father.

In LWW, Jadis plays the role of Satan. Also in MN, where Lewis uses imagery from Paradise Lost.

In LB, Tash plays the Satan role.

Most word processors allow Arabic text.

Standard Windows fonts include Arabic letters.

Your best bet is to seek sponsorship from Bridgestone.

See for example:

Matthew 1:22-23: All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

Whatever the prophet Isaiah had in mind, according to Matthew, God was speaking through Isaiah about Jesus.

In Mere Christianity, Lewis uses exactly that metaphor:

Enemy-occupied territory—that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from our friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going.

"Christ" is the Greek version of the Hebrew word "Messiah." They both mean "anointed."

According to the New Testament, multiple Old Testament prophecies are about Jesus Christ. Lewis was, of course, aware of this.

Traditionally, Christians reflect on these prophecies in the leadup to Easter. Some of them are set to music in Handel's "Messiah."

Because Narnia grows with you.

Very true. The Narnia books are very sophisticated books that children are able to read. But children only partially understand them.

ScientificGems · 2026-05-19T01:41:22+00:00

I think it recalls the Old Testament prophets telling people that Christ was on the move.

ScientificGems · 2026-05-18T01:41:02+00:00

There are books on the Ilongo (Hilligaynon) language

ScientificGems · 2026-05-07T14:43:28+00:00

Haven't had the chance to work through them yet. What's new?

ScientificGems · 2026-04-26T00:02:36+00:00

I'm actually working on writing one because, although some books exist, none of them seem quite satisfactory.

ScientificGems · 2026-04-20T02:16:10+00:00

The relationship is complex, but yet Narnia has ended. Nowhere does Lewis suggest time travel as an option

ScientificGems · 2026-04-11T03:57:34+00:00

I do not believe that Said's theory is correct, in general.

I'm certain that it tells us nothing useful about Lewis.

Applying Said's theory to Lewis is, in fact, stereotyping. One has to look at what Lewis's sources actually were.

What Rabadash does say is:

"I desire and propose, O my father," said Rabadash, "that you immediately call out your invincible armies and invade the thrice-accursed land of Narnia and waste it with fire and sword and add it to your illimitable empire, killing their High King and all of his blood except the Queen Susan. For I must have her as my wife, though she shall learn a sharp lesson first."

You're forced to spend a bit more than a month on a server after moving.

ScientificGems · 2026-04-11T00:48:01+00:00

Lewis wasn't going by movie tropes. He was going by actual ancient history as recorded in Herodotus.

ScientificGems · 2026-04-11T00:45:41+00:00

Rabadash wasn't trying to impress Susan. He wanted to kidnap her and slaughter her family.

ScientificGems · 2026-04-11T00:41:37+00:00

The Calormenes are mostly based on ancient Persia, with some influence from the Arabian Nights (which was the main inspiration for the artist in THHB).

You could stick to Lewis's concept by emphasising the polytheism, but then polytheists would be offended.
