Talk:The Chronicles of Narnia (view source)
Revision as of 22:11, June 17, 2007
, 22:11, June 17, 2007no edit summary
Whether The Chronicles of Narnia is allegory or not I should like to point out that Lewis is not God. He didn't really ''know'' everything that was going to happen so anything about Muhammed in the Chronicles (especially The Last Battle) is purely guessing and fictional literature. That would make it speculations of speculation (confusing.) --[[User:Additioner]], 25 April, 2007

While the strong Christian undertones (and true identity of Aslan) are unmistakeable, I think that claiming that the books are a straight retelling of the Old and New Testaments is rather stretching it.--[[User:M|M]] 20:18, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

I agree with M. It does have many similarities with the Bible. These are definitely christian books but to say that they are straight retellings is not ''quite'' true. Could this be changed in some way? --[[User:Additioner]] 14:02, 16 April 2007

Right, I agree. Its definitely not a "re-telling" of the Bible, and not even a true, straight up allegory. Some of the stuff (Especially in LWW) was intended to be allegorical, some other stuff was obviously based on the Bible, but different, and all placed with a lot of fiction. I made some changes to the beginning to imply these different facts about the biblical and allegory stuff. As I may be wrong, and going with the whole Wiki method of working, feel free to revise the stuff I revised. [[User:Mskreuz|Mskreuz]] 18:11, 17 June 2007 (EDT)
